Broad Overview of Costing
for Beach Project – 2007 -
2010
A broad overview of the
estimated costing of the SFB
Beach Project is shown
below. The three major
components of the
Construction Phase are the
dredger, the sand pipeline
and the three reefs.
|
MS 5012
Dredger March,
2007
The IMS 5012 HP
dredger has been
selected for the
Estuary
Dredging. This
self propelled
dredger is
manufactured in
the US and is
considered best
for this type of
operation as it
is used in many
similar type
operations
around the
world.

Sand Pipeline
and Booster Pump
System – March,
2007
Fixed sand
pipeline from
Pump House at
Shore Road
through to the
Main Beach

includes a
stand-by
emergency pump
system in case
of electrical
outages as well
as a booster

Note:
Detailed estimates including
the possibility of an
additional reef will be
available later in 2007 once
the Design Phase has been
completed by ASR.
Revised costs are due to the
volumes of the artificial
reefs having been
increased by
approximately 50% following
completion of the initial
design phase in early 2007.

Beach Trust website.

in the R / $ exchange rate.
