Used for carried filling out from an offshore source or rehandling pit from dredger
suitable for filing material from land sourse
Used when the seabed is deep or the underlying seabed soil is soft
Used to transport sand by barge and dumping the fill material like clay or rock just temporary in the pit for storage
