Sand Screening & Beach Renourishment
DRC revolutionized sand screening and beach nourishment techniques after powerful storm surges. Let us bring your beaches back, better.
DRC revolutionized the handling and screening of sand to remove debris and clear right-of-way and grow beaches and rebuild them in powerful ways.
Many jurisdictions face damaged coastal areas and habitats that may require immediate recovery restoration. DRC has performed this sensitive and precise process for decades. Various equipment is used to scrape the sand, screen it to remove particles and debris, and redistribute the pure sand along the shoreline to rebuild dunes and contour beaches.
Sand Screening at Work: Surf City and Topsail Island, North Carolina
DRC was mobilized for a beach restoration project in Surf City and Topsail Island, North Carolina immediately following Hurricane Florence. The storm system displaced large amounts of sand into the right-of-way and off the beaches. DRC used a variety of equipment to scrape the sand, screen it to remove particulates and debris, and then redistribute it along the beach. The screening equipment removed undesirables like wood and trash at a rate of 80 – 100 cubic yards per hour. The pure beach sand was then loaded into dump trucks and distributed along the shoreline to rebuild dunes and contour the beaches. DRC had contracts and equipment in place before the storm hit the east coast, ready to bring this beautiful beach back to normal.
