This project was performed to create a much-widened stretch of reclaimed land and to put in place a protective revetment and groyne system that would prevent future inundation of inhabited areas by storm waters from the Gulf of Guinea in one direction or by flood waters in the Keta Lagoon from the other. Great Lakes restored the beaches between the groynes along a 9-km stretch. The works also entailed the construction of a 9-km road, the purchase and operation of a nearby rock quarry, and the creation and maintenance of some 50 km of suitable roadways for transport of the rock via the company's fleet of eight 100-ton ore trucks. GLDD performed this work using two demountable cutter suction dredges, and finished four months ahead of schedule.
