CDE, a leading supplier of sand and aggregate wet processing solutions for the waste recycling and natural processing sectors, has announced a new partnership with the La’ Ala Al-Kuwait Real Estate Company that will see it design and engineer a sand washing plant to support the delivery of phase five of its pioneering Sabah Al-Ahmad Sea City (SAASC) in Kuwait.
SAASC is one of the world’s largest real estate developments, located 90km south of Kuwait City in the Al-Khiran region along the Arabian Gulf. It will have a massive network of canals and waterways, as well as four major marinas, in addition to residential and commercial buildings.
With the next phase commenced, millions of cubic metres of sand and silt will need to be extracted, processed and dewatered to create new entrance channels, waterways and land formation.
CDE will commission a new sand washing facility to replace an existing wash plant setup that has reached the end of its operational life to support this. CDE’s solution will enhance throughput by optimizing the plant and increasing uptime. Because of its flexibility to be fine-tuned in response to variable feedstock, the system will be able to alter cut point to ensure optimum plant utilization and product production to support the city’s ongoing development of new coastline and infrastructure.
As part of the latest phase of the project, an estimated 1.3 million cubic metres of beach sand is required by the middle of 2024.
