DCN: Dredging Begins on Port Adelaide Outer Harbour
DREDGING has started at Port Adelaide as part of the $80m project to widen the Outer Harbour shipping channel and swing basin.
“Central to that is the use of state-of-the-art equipment by world-leading dredge contractor, Boskalis, to minimise turbidity, loss of seagrass and any impact on fauna, adherence to an agreed seasonal window and the imposition of comprehensive risk management protocols.
“Our project team will use real time monitoring throughout the project to monitor turbidity levels and water quality, and strict measures are in place to alter or suspend dredging should set trigger limits be exceeded.”
