Sand Dredging and Reclamation

Brief Intro and Just Info,

Past Experience - About Marine Engineering and Construction Works. After that venturing and operate sea sand project in Indonesia, since 1992, also sand dredging and supplier - Project in Batam deepen the channel and later sand supply to Singapore's main contractors / developer, Pasir Panjang, Tuas, JTC, PSA, Changi and Pulau Seraya. Before, the import from Batam to Singapore. After few year later. Indonesia has banned sea sand export to its little small neighbor, after that the sea / river sand import from Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar from those countries, due to environment impact. 

Singapore strives the success due to comment and planning for future, It wants the new develop land for private and public housing estates and recreational facilities for its growing population as well as expanding commercial and industrial activities, include transport. The government's incessant sculpting has extended the coastline out to sea in the east, northeast and west, with coastal areas straightened by dykes. Offshore islands have grown. The province is the main source of sand used to produce land and cement for Singapore's and/or Asian construction sector and coastal reclamation projects.

Which require an estimated 1 to 2 billion cubic meters of sand every year. What I know from my time 1992 to 1999. The legitimate sand is first sold to international brokers, at about S$1.80 per cubic meter, later price go up to Singapore construction firms at approximately S$12 or more !!  Analysts predict the price of sea sand could shoot up to S$40 per ton (S$60/m3) or more because of the ban or shortage, with an ensuing increase in overall construction costs.

I believe Singapore it must continue to grow physically as well as economically. At the tip of Malaysia, the country is otherwise almost completely surrounded by Indonesia across the Singapore Strait. From Malaysia side, We previously also deliver from Johor river sand to Singapore, Yishun golf club, just small job.

Singapore's need for Indonesian sand increased considerably after 1996 when Malaysia, at the time Singapore's main supplier, banned exports. Two years later there was another boom in demand following the plan to widen Changi Airport and the Jurong Island and Pasir Panjang areas. A revival, to forecasts that construction demand in Singapore may climb to US$ 5 billion or more this year. Major planned developments include casino resorts and the new Business and Financial hub Center. Recent figures put the imports at 5 to 7 million tons a year and with construction projects up by 35 percent last year. Just the estimation.

Although sand has been exported to Singapore for almost a quarter of a century, An estimated 60 percent of the actual trade. mostly by Singaporean and Foreign partnership owned dredging Vessels, dredgers and also foreign giant company come in, to development the small island.
