Rohde Nielsen has successfully completed coastal protection works at Matalascañas Beach in Huelva, Spain, on behalf of Dirección General de Sostenibilidad de la Costa y del Mar.
Within approximately three months, TSHDs Idun R, Thor R and Njord R dredged, transported and nourished approximately 780,000 m³ of sand along 4-kilometre stretch of coastline. In addition, existing 9 breakwaters were remodeled to improve sand retention.
The project forms part of the Strategy for the Protection of the Huelva Coast, helping to restore and strengthen a beach significantly affected by coastal erosion.
