Reclamation of the sea is not as easy as many people think. Because it is a method that is complicated in various steps and methods. Therefore, before starting a reclamation project, detailed planning is required, starting from the environment at the area to be reclamated, the stability of the area from now to the future, choosing materials for reclamation that can adhere to the sea, to the actual reclamation process. With work that involves water as a major factor in reclamation, it is much more complicated than general land reclamation. In this content, Jira Logistics will explain how complicated the reclamation work is.
How is sea reclamation different from land reclamation?
Land reclamation is very different from land reclamation because the process is more complicated than land reclamation in every aspect. Land reclamation requires various types of vehicles to work, such as dump trailers, lot trailers, flatbed trailers, various sizes of cargo ships, backhoes, etc. In addition, there are many types and sizes of raw materials used in the reclamation. Therefore, land reclamation requires various machines to help in the work. The time of land reclamation is completely different from land reclamation because it takes a long time to work from the transportation of tools, machinery, and raw materials that must be continuously sent from the land to the middle of the sea.
Easy-to-understandprocesses of reclamation of the sea
The beginning of reclamation of the sea must be planned early on land, whether it is an analysis of the marine environment in that area to find a stable and sustainable direction or location for reclamation. Then, the raw materials that are required will be determined by transporting them from the production source with various types of trucks according to the suitability of the transportation to the port.
The process of loading raw materials onto the ship requires a backhoe or a backhoe to scoop the raw materials from the truck bed into the transport ship. This part of the work takes a lot of time because the truck cannot dump all the raw materials onto the ship at once for safety reasons. After that, the transport ship will transport the raw materials to the destination, which has a large ship for carrying various machinery for reclamation of the sea and a backhoe to remove the raw materials from the ship to be reclamation of the sea in order.
Raw materials required for sea reclamation
There are many popular materials used for sea filling, most of which are similar to those used for land filling, but with additional ingredients such as sand, coarse sand, limestone, and granite. Limestone is a material that can stick in water. Due to its porous nature and its ability to be corroded, limestone can clump together when filled in. The size of the rocks used ranges from 1-2 inches up to large rocks of 20-50 inches.
Land reclamation and a method that is not as easy as it seems
Reclamation of the sea is considered a method of increasing the area with natural factors as the main issue. This makes the work many times more complicated than land reclamation because there is no need to worry about the mass of seawater in that area. Therefore, all steps and preparations must be carefully planned, which may take several years before the actual work is started, in order for the work to proceed smoothly and for the area to be stable and strong.
