WHY IS SOIL IMPROVEMENT IMPORTANT?
Typically, potential reclamation sites are shallow coastal zones or marshy lowlands. The soil in these areas often consists of thick layers of soft clay or silts. Reclamation work increases the load on these soft layers, causing widespread settling.
Waiting for the natural settlement of this land is timeconsuming and thus costly and may put a project in jeopardy if it cannot be accomplished in a designated period of time.
To accelerate the settlement process, dredging contractors have developed specialised solutions to consolidate these soft soils. In addition, newly reclaimed soil is often in a loose state and may not meet the demands of the planned infrastructure and therefore needs to be improved.
