The function of floating hoses in the construction of artificial islands
When building an artificial island, a dredge like CSD/TSHD is needed to help us solve the sand or rock needs. These dredgers need to transport a mixture of sand, rock, and seawater through a dredging floating hose. This is the function of floating hoses in the construction of artificial islands.
Floating rubber hose has enough buoyancy to float on water and better flexibility. These floating pipeline can work under harsh conditions very well. Self-floating hoses supplied by Nanjing Deers have been used by some major reclamation projects around the world. Self-floating hoses also include normal floating hose and armored floating hose. Now armored floating hoses are much popular and approved by many dredging companies as well. We can produce and supply floating pipelines according to your requirement.
Since 2013, China has established eight artificial islands in the South China Sea. They are Huayang Island, Meiji Island, Chinua Island, Dongmen Island, Nanxun Island, Zhubi Island, Yongshu Island, and Yongxing Island.
After the reclamation project, Meiji Island became the largest island in the entire South China Sea, with an area of 6 square kilometers. There is an airport on the island, which can be used for passenger planes and fighter jets to take off and land after completion. The airport facilities are currently being improved. In order to better enhance the strategic value of Meiji Island, our country has spent a lot of effort to build it. It took five years to transform the island from a small fishing village into a small sea city. There is also a lagoon with an area of 36 square kilometers in the atoll, which is the largest and most complete lagoon in the Nansha sea area. Meiji Reef is an excellent place to develop marine aquaculture and has become an important fishery base in the South China Sea.
