Marine sand, sourced from the seabed, is a valuable material primarily used in large-scale construction and engineering projects. Due to its unique properties and availability, marine sand is crucial for land development and coastal protection.

​

Key Industrial Uses

Land Reclamation: Marine sand is essential for land reclamation projects, where it is used to create new land from the sea. This process involves dredging marine sand and depositing it in designated areas to extend coastlines or create new landmasses. Land reclamation is vital for expanding urban areas, developing infrastructure, and supporting economic growth in coastal regions.

​

Coastal Protection: Marine sand is used to reinforce and protect coastlines from erosion and storm surges. By building up beaches and constructing barriers, marine sand helps prevent land loss and protects coastal communities and infrastructure from the impact of rising sea levels and severe weather events.

​

Beach Nourishment: Marine sand is often used in beach nourishment projects to combat beach erosion and maintain the recreational and aesthetic value of coastal areas. This involves adding sand to eroding beaches to restore their original width and protect coastal ecosystems.

Harbor and Port Development: Marine sand is used in the construction and expansion of harbors and ports, providing the necessary material for creating stable foundations and improving navigation channels.
