Port Expansion in Australia28/09/2009 |
| Royal Boskalis Westminster has been awarded the contract from Fremantle Ports for the deepening of the port of Fremantle Inner Harbour in Western Australia. The project requires the deepening of both the port basin and the access channel. A total of 3 million cubic meters of sand and rock will be dredged and the project will be executed with a large hopper and a cutter suction dredger. |
|
The contract value is approximately EUR45 million and the work is scheduled to be executed in the first half of 2010.
Over the last few months, prior to the award, Boskalis was active in an Early Contractor Involvement phase. During this phase, the design and working methods were optimised in close cooperation with the client and a civil contractor.
The Boskalis strategy is designed to benefit from the key macro-economic drivers that are fueling global demand in our selected markets: global trade, increasing energy consumption, expanding population pressures and the challenges of changing climate conditions. This port expansion project is driven by a need to cater for larger vessels and future trade volumes.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion |
Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.
