Commissioned by Administratia Bazinala de Apa Dobrogea-Litoral (ABA-DL), this project aims to protect Constanța’s coastline from erosion and flooding while enhancing tourism.
To protect the beaches from storm waves, Van Oord installed breakwaters over a length of 9 kilometres. These coastal defence structures will serve to shield the coast against tides, currents, waves and storm surges, said the Dutch giant.
After the structures were in place, trailing suction hopper dredger Vox Amalia deposited 4 million cubic meters of sand to protect the stretch of coastline from erosion.
According to Van Oord, the project adds to their extensive portfolio of coastal protection works in Romania, including projects it is currently executing at the seaside resorts of Costinesti, Mangalia-Saturn and 2 Mai and an earlier coastline reinforcement project at Eforie.
