Removal / Transportation Of Spoil By Barge:

The size, getting material to the facility, location and movement restrictions of the barge loading facilities are critical to production. A 2,000 m3 flat bottom barge, could easily be loaded 1.5 times per day, with a planned allowance of 2 no movements per day for example...

• 1,000 m3 barge, filled in 9.5 hrs = 2 movements/day
• 1,500 m3 barge, filled in 6.5 hrs = 3.5 movements/day
