Unloading Giant Ship Full of Sand With a Genius Technique

In this episode on Tekniq, we explore the journey of barges being used to transport bulks of sand on the seas bordering while tugboats assist barges to dock ports.

This is a common operation ALL over the world. I live on the west coast of Florida. All along our coastline, beach renourishment is an ongoing process. Sand and water are pumped from 1 mi out from the Gulf of Mexico I'm to the shoreline. The water drains back. And now the sand remains. Simple and efficient. If you are unaware of this process, you might think of it as a genius idea. It's just plain simple common sense using water as a vehicle to transport sand.

Hello do You live in use

[@Nenezilla]

​@hasanjurayev2963 do you mean USA? If so, yes Florida is in the USA

Grandi soluzioni tecniche ! complimenti ! un cordiale saluto da Luciano il perugino (Italia) 😀🍀🍀🍀

[@backbayboy1]

Fantastic !

[@nopelindoputraperkasa5869]

Amazing, the best technique and very genius at work ✨🌺👍👍👌

[@JohnWilliams-jx6tl]

It's where they are keeping the shipping channel dredged for the other ships.

[@rickykoh3101]

it may be "genius" in south asia, but it's VERY common method in south-east asian regions like vietnam

[@Hurst6969]

impressive the barge doesn't sink under the load Makes perfect sense "Genius?" used water to get the sand in and using water to get the sand out

[@puirYorick]

SAFETY FIRST also, no PPE in sight except lifevests in the interior.

[@jamesbeckwith3639]

You must lead a sheltered life... as this is used all over the UK for rebuilding the heights of beaches to combat erosion

[@brandingudmundson47]

Or we simply don’t live in the UK

[@madman9185]

it's in Bangladesh and they use old diesel truck engines as a main motor

[@rajbabupakala7424]

It is not Bangladesh, it's godavari river near rajamahendravarm. You can iconic railway bridges in the background.

[@saikumarmadadi7524]

​@@rajbabupakala7424 But removal of sand from river destroys ecosystem. And Sand mafia is very active in AP.

[@hesterdekoninck]

Those transmissions (flexible joints) of various (crank/drive)shafts are genius, (3:17 and 7:25) never seen it before, and quite some eccentricity to overcome… What material is used, some sort of rubber strips from car tire?

[@coloradostrong]

Leather belts from horses that die in the streets.

[@user-yo2dz9td4b]

May be there was a mistake in translation, they are loading not dischargin this barge that seems not very🎉 big indeed

[@SmaxChristopher1]

I must have missed the giant ship.

[@3ne2nr4life]

You're an animal 😅😅😅

[@johnnewby2001]

We’re is the giant ship??

[@dshogan6174]

Good method for sand used in FILL operations, but zero use for sand used in construction concrete. Salt water!

Dit deden wij 30 jaar terug al,

[@amit-ju8ff]

India 🇮🇳 wale kon kon h😂😂 plz like

[@ebergarcia3450]

Why are they getting sand for??.

[@jeromehansen3969]

Concrete.

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Many uses, glass, industrial molds, shoreline renewable. Ballast. Gardening, concrete, building, the list goes on

[@octoberwho]

To sell as a commodity just like wood, coal, etc.

[@devildog6698]

They use the sand as grit to mix with automobile blinker fluid. they also mold it together to make shoreline which you can buy in 50 foot increments at the hardware store.
