Sand mining will be carried out by the TSHD (trailing suction hopper dredger, what is this?) within the working areas. CSD will dredge the high spot in sector A and deposit the sand into rehandling areas 1 and 2. CSD will be held by spud legs and assisted by tug boat for movement within the working areas. Floating steel pipes will be anchored at 6 points with lighted buoys. There will be occasional survey work carried out by DHI survey vessel as required. Proper precautions will be in place and a safe distance of more than 250-metre from the dredger will be kept when such operations are carried out. Safety boats will be deployed to warn craft to keep clear of the working area.
