Belgium based dredging major Jan De Nul has commenced works to reinforce some 3km of the Prince Hendrik Sand Dike on the Dutch Wadden Island of Texel. The trailing suction hopper dredger Bartolomeu Dias is winning some five million m3 of sand from the North Sea and pumping it to the beach through a floating pipeline. Bulldozers spread the sand in an ongoing project expected to be completed by the end of next year. The project will create a future-proof water barrier in the form of dunes and improve the ecological value of the Wadden Sea. It will provide Texel’s 14,000 residents and one million annual visitors with assurance to be able to live, work and relax safely on the island.
