Impacts of dredging and reclamation projects
Sandirasegaran, Kavitha1, Norpadzlihatun Manap2.
Dredging works are commonly described as removal of sediments from
underwater which involving excavation process. Soil and rocks are
excavated for channel and harbor deepening and for land reclamation.
Land reclamation is defined as usage of dredged sediments to construct
or build new land in the sea. This research aims to investigate the impact
of dredging and reclamation projects as dredging and reclamation are
one of the geotechnical engineering elements. Human activities such as
dredging and reclamation may lead to geo-hazards such as coastal
erosion, landslides, flooding and etc. In this research, 157 villagers from
Teluk Rampang and Langkah Baik, Pengerang, Kota Tinggi in Malaysia has
been selected as respondents to answer the distributed questionnaire. As
a result, the analysis shows that villagers become victims due to the
reclamation project executed to construct petroleum hub in Pengerang,
Kota Tinggi. The impact can be reduced with a proper monitoring and
management by the project stakeholders’.
