Ramsgate Baths Beach Nourishment

Beach Nourishment Finished

Ramsgate Baths Beach Nourishment works all wrapped up.  Neumann Dredging has completed the dredging of Dolls Point for the Bayside council in Botany Bay – NSW.

Bayside Council awarded Neumann Dredging the contract to dredge sand from Dolls Point to replenish the beach at Ramsgate Baths in Botany Bay NSW.

Though Council requested tenders for a cutter suction dredge Neumann Dredging submitted a proposal to use a dry feed hopper bin arrangement to produce a slurry and pump the sand the required 1.7 km. This methodology was chosen due to the Council’s desire not to excavate the beach at Dolls Point below the lowest astronomical tide level.

Due to the close proximity of sensitive seagrass beds, a floating 2 metre drop silt curtain was installed around the nourishment operation to prevent sediments from settling on the seagrasses.
