M&K BENIN
M&K within two years, established itself as market leader for the design and manufacture of efficient and integrated dredgers and dredging equipment in West Africa and is currently in the process of expanding into the Central Africa sub region. The wide range of M&K’s services supports every dredging need, right from Dredger design to commissioning and after sales services.
Our dredgers are designed to excavate and transport soil materials of different densities from fine sand and clay to gravel across predefined distances. In addition to this, we offer to customize dredgers for your specific project needs. Therefore, we offer dredgers suitable for a variety of applications, such as:
- Sand Mining – Dredging of aggregates such as construction sand can be performed efficiently using our hopper dredgers and barges. Our design facilitate the tasks of both loading and unloading which are done by use of either dredge hoses that lead to piling zone or scows which can transport the aggregate over long distances in ways that are much economical and efficient compared to the use of booster.
- Maintenance dredging – This involves the removal of sediments from existing riverbeds, channels, etc. in order to maintain an appropriate water depth. As a result, gateways are kept open for safe navigation and flood control.
- Capital dredging– Pumping sand efficiently in great quantities is key when new infrastructure is created. Land reclamation for new industrial areas or airports, requires the excavation and transport of vast amounts of sand and gravel. Expansion or deepening of a harbour or navigation channel and coastal protection involves high dredged volumes as well. In case of swell, for instance during beach nourishment, our hopper dredgers provide the best solution. Creating a new harbour basin can be done by a stationary suction dredger. Should the project be inland and mining, the dredger could do the dredging job effortlessly.
- Environmental dredging – improvement of the environment by removing contaminated soils through precise, low turbidity dredging, in order to not spread the contaminants.
