CHANNEL DREDGING

As part of our dredging services, Primo has also specialized in canalization with new elds of tasks which include deepening, widening and maintenance of harbors and waterways, dredging access channels, sand wave removal and reduction of canalization blockage. Canalization requires absolute precision and for This reason, our operations are carried out with high precision and the very highest s tandards of safety, quality and environmental care, in line with the demands of the oil and gas operators. With our eet of equipment, we offer credible, tested and professional services

SHORE PROTECTION

Primo constructs and maintains shore protection structures including jetties, groins, seawalls, breakwaters, and bulkheads in order to protect the coastline and the navigable water channels that can reach down to 20 meters. Early shore protection measures included jetties and groins constructed perpendicular to the shoreline for the purpose of lessening the impacts of erosion by reducing the rate of sediment transport along vulnerable coastlines. Primo has invested heavily in procurement of world class next generation marine equipment for secured shoreline protection. Our clients recognize our rst class professional mode of operation & safety measures applied in ensuring that we don't end up causing erosion instead of protecting the shorelines

LAND RECLAMATION

Primo with its partner has acquired extensive, worldwide experience in geotechnical and geophysical site investigations, surveys, studies, design, specication and supervision for:

• Coastal and port developments including land reclamation and beaches
• Maintenance of port approach and navigation channels, turning basins and berths
• Civil works such as immersed tube tunnels, pipelines and outfalls
• Minerals extraction
• Beach nourishment for the purposes of coastal defense

The global nature of Primo's activities has provided comprehensive experience of the wide variety of dredging methods and types and sizes of dredging equipment. Frequently, the reclamation (or beach nourishment) works are accompanied by structures such as revetments, to stabilize them once in place. Again, Primo's expertise in these areas is unparalleled. Primo also has experience of the survey equipment and methods used for monitoring and controlling dredging, reclamation and spoil disposal operations as well as for the determination of quantities for payment. We utilize state-of-the art numerical modelling software, both developed in-house and commercially available software, to model the potential impacts of the dredging and reclamation works on the wider marine environment, based on a simulation of the hydrodynamic and sediment regimes in and around dredging and reclamation works.
