Coastal resilience

With climate change significantly increasing sea levels and the severity of storm events around the world, the threat of coastal erosion, flooding and ecosystem imbalances is higher than ever before.

Hall Contracting has the equipment and experience to bolster coastal defences through beach replenishment and marine infrastructure.

Marine infrastructure

Whether it’s constructing a groyne, seawall, breakwater or artificial reef, our team can deliver marine infrastructure to address a wide variety of beach erosion issues.

Beach replenishment

Beach replenishment (also known as beach renourishment) involves dredging large quantities of sand and using it to nourish stretches of coastline. This not only helps to combat erosion but also increase beach width, improving its recreational value.

Beach replenishment can be undertaken using a dredge in combination with a pipeline and booster pump. The versatility of Hall’s pipelines and booster pump combinations means we can adapt to a wide variety of beach replenishment projects.

We also possess the capabilities to undertake rainbowing, which involves propelling wet sand offshore in a rainbow-like arc using a specialised nozzle. This beach replenishment technique makes use of natural sediment transport processes to gradually nourish the beach over time.
