The Orange Island in Nigeria When thinking about dredging and wealth creation, amazing developments such as the creation of the largest artificial man-made lake in West Africa which is the Lakowe Lakes golf club and country homes, construction of the Banana Island and the Orange Island in Lagos, then the Suez canal and the Palm Island in Dubai comes to mind. With these projects comes the enormous possibilities and potential that dredging has to offer. With the Banana and Orange Islands in Nigeria, we show how we are able to redefine and shape our environment for those seeking highbrow residential and office areas. Although these are all great examples these projects are just a fraction of what the business of dredging is all about. Dredging has many areas both large and small in which an individual with large to little or no capital could generate wealth from. Among the most common are: The Banana Island in Lagos Nigeria Land reclamation Sand and gravel Dre...

SAND SEARCH ANALYSIS AND REPORT BEFORE FINANCIAL COMMITMENT

Image
Sub-bottom profiler system When dredging for the purpose of land reclamation or stockpiling for construction, one thing is paramount and that thing is SAND. It is the quantity and quality of the sand available at the proposed dredging site that determines the success of the project to be carried out. The quantity of sand deposit and the cost of dredging out this sand to a discharge site is what translates to the amount of money you make. So why not determine and evaluate all this by firstly, carrying out a sand search? Sand Search simply means exploring water bodies with the objective of locating areas with sand deposits in commercial quantity, to be exploited by dredging for land reclamation or stockpiling for the purpose of construction. The importance of sand search in the dredging industry cannot be overemphasized. Sand search has been trivialized in Nigeria’s dredging industry and has resulted in some cases of failed projects due to faulty sand search reports among oth...

HOW TO CREATE WEALTH WITH DREDGING IN NIGERIA - 1

Dredger Before any dredging work can commence after the contract must have been awarded and paperwork is done and gotten out of the way, a major work must be done on the supposed dredging site to facilitate the actual dredging when it finally commences. This very important work is called SITE ANALYSIS. It involves several things such as site investigation, survey, sand search, clearing, excavation, etc. As a local or group of locals, you can make some wealth working as a tour guide to the team of investigators during site investigation and to the team of surveyors during their survey and pegging. Some of the site owners sometimes award contracts for manual clearing and cutting of logs rather than hiring a swamp buggy which cost nothing less than  N  250,000 per day to hire,   bulldozers or excavators which cost  a lot of money. This can generate you some cool millions just like a certain Mr Jude while we were mobilizing Lakowe golf course...
