The
Poole replenishment programme
included beaches between Shore Road and Branksome Dene Chine, using
two dredgers - the
Ham 311
& Waterway.
The
sinkerline first came ashore just east of Branksome Chine at 17:30 on
Thursday, 15th
December 2005. It was moved to Canford Cliffs Chine on 7th January
and the final dredger load of sand was pumped to Shore Road at 19:30 on
Monday, 16th January.

Poole
beaches were due to receive approx 450,000m3of new sand; the
590,364m3 recorded
as pumped ashore allows for
various factors [more]. A
daily independent survey measures amounts retained on the beach.
Another
statistic - the eventual length of the pipeline leading from the dredger
to Shore Road was 2306m.
