The choice for using the DOP was a simple one: the submersed dredge pump ensures a continuous process (in UXO-areas) contrary to mechanical dredging.įor sand mining purposes, a somewhat customised sand mining head with plenty of jetwater was fitted. From there, another Damen pump was used to bring the screened sand further to replenish the nearby shores. ![]() The DOP pumped the bottom material – sand and occasionally UXOs – to a reinforced screening installation. The DOP350 was attached to one of Martens & Van Oord’s pontoon-based excavators. Martens & Van Oord was up for the job – using a DOP submersible dredge pump in the process. Not a simple job taking into account that conventional Second World War explosives were hidden in the seabed. Its old marina entrance needed to be updated and the harbour was to be deepened. The village of Cadzand is located in the south west of the Netherlands, on the shores of the North Sea. The project has quite a challenge in store – unexploded ordnance (UXO). Currently, an interesting project is being undertaken by the Dutch contractor Martens & Van Oord in Cadzand, the Netherlands. As a result, an enormous variety of dredging projects have been brought to a successful conclusion.
