Sanctuary Beach, a Singapore-based consultant with expertise in beach restoration in various countries, was selected for the beach restoration project. Also, the DCI could instead dredge to a depth of 4 m on a priority basis and cover a larger area, so that neither the fishermen nor the beach restoration suffers. The National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), consultant for the project, has already conducted several surveys and finalized the concept design for the beach restoration and nourishment work. The beach nourishment and construction of artificial reefs, the two components of the project, have to be carried out simultaneously to ensure the restoration of the sandy beach. Even now they can shift the dredged sand through pipeline within three days.
