Dentons Delany facilitated a collaboration between Seven Seas Water Group (SSW), and the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) on the signing of a 12-year Build-Own-Operate-Transfer agreement for the construction of two new seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants. These plants will be strategically located adjacent to the existing facilities at Ffryes Beach and Ivan Rodrigues, utilizing some of the existing infrastructure. Implementation of the new plants will occur in two phases, with Ffryes Beach expected to commence water production within seven months of signing the agreement, and Ivan Rodrigues eighteen months later. This new venture will not only address the need to meet the increasing water demand, and expansion of water production sources. But also, significantly contributes to expanding and improving the local water infrastructure, combining a total of three million imperial gallons of daily drinking water production capacity to the people of Antigua. Marking a crucial enhancement of increased production capacity to meet the growing demand spurred by increased tourism, cruise ship arrivals, and economic activity on the island. Progressing this collaboration ensures a quick, reliable, and cost-effective water production source, fostering a strong, local, long-term partnership.

The formal hand-over of the Central Dredging Association - CEDA presidency to Kathleen De Wit took place yesterday at the CEDA Dredging Days 2024! 👏 IMDC is fully supporting her with this new challenge, that she accepted with a lot of enthusiasm and dedication. The dredging sector faces numerous challenges and opportunities, where CEDA can play an important role. 👉 Take the opportunity to meet Kathleen at the Dredging Days, or one of her IMDC colleagues Boudewijn Decrop or Annelies Bolle, both presenting and chairing a session as well. #ExpertsInWater #Dredging #CEDA #EnvironmentalDredging #EnvironmentalModelling #ClimateChange #CoastalProtectection #NatureBasedSolutions 

#Sand is not an infinite resource. #IADC published #bestpractices to conduct #responsible dreging projects. #UNEP "considers this report a good step towards minimum environmental standards for #dredging practices/marine sand & gravel extraction."

The final stage of modern mining is Rehabilitation. Although mine operations may last up to 25 years, Dalradian has already submitted proposals to return the site to its present-day use in a Rehabilitation and Closure Plan. The plan forms the basis for a legal agreement with the Department for Infrastructure, which regulators/stakeholders will also feed into. It will be regularly updated to take account of new technology and community views. Rehabilitation is integral to the mine’s design and will start during operations. The Dry Stack Facility, for instance, will be progressively replanted with hedgerows and native species and re-contoured to blend into the local landscape. Some rehabilitation, e.g., removing underground equipment, can only occur after operations finish, but the objective is to restore the site to productive use for farming and/or heathlands. Alternatively, the community may wish to retain and repurpose some buildings/infrastructure, create a nature reserve to enhance biodiversity and act as a carbon sink or support other sustainability projects. Most rehabilitation will be completed within one year after closure, but monitoring to ensure that environmental requirements are met will continue. Dalradian will provide a financial guarantee and set aside funds (in advance and agreed with government) to cover all rehabilitation costs, as is the case at our current exploration site. We also want to leave a legacy that supports the wealth and health of our community. A good example of what can be achieved is Lisheen Mine, Co. Tipperary. When it closed in 2015, a carefully structured closure plan was initiated in consultation with local communities. €80m-worth of facilities were kept, helping establish a leading European bio-products campus that is creating new jobs for the area while reducing carbon emissions.

Every stage of a project presents opportunities to increase the sustainability of sand extraction. This article is a condensed version of the paper “Sand as a resource: Best practices to conduct responsible dredging projects”.

Tomorrow we will go through a complete list of what items you need to check off during your due diligence period as well as what to look for in the perfect site for your project. Come join me and let’s work together. #gassa #selfstorage #civilengineering
