Hi Guys,
New here and hope I am in the right place. I am Aussiemike from South Coast Kenya.
I found this site whilst looking/surfing the web trying to find out how to move wet beach sand.
Got onto your gold search pages and studied up on Dredge nozzles.
Head is spinning with all the new info.
My problem.
I have bought a property on the beach in Tanzania and it is at the entrance to a tidal river. Over the years the river blocked itself up and when the rains came the following year it broke out 600 meters north of its original exit causing huge erosion problems.
What I need to do is a one time job of blocking this new exit by moving 500 tons of sand from the sand bank.
To do it manually would be a nightmare and where I am there is no chance of a D9 or similar.
Reading the news lately I notice the Chinese making their own islands by dredging sand and spraying it to form an island.
I thought I might use the same method to solve my problem.
So my question is this.
Which is the best homemade design for a dredging nozzle that can move the most sand in the shortest time with a 2 inch water pump?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Regards from Kenya
