According to the company, crews are deploying its STABIPLAGE® technology, configured here in a "T" formation, to rebuild the beach's sediment stock and shield surrounding tourism infrastructure. The system, Espace Pur says, is designed to work with the shoreline's natural hydrodynamic processes rather than against them: durable enough to withstand cyclonic swells, adjustable as sea levels rise, and fully reversible once removed.
The firm states that the installation was digitally modelled and validated beforehand by engineers at Prolog Ingénierie, part of the Infraneo group. That technical groundwork, it adds, was followed by a round of local consultation, with briefings held for Mauritian government bodies, residents, boat owners and fishermen — a process Espace Pur says secured local buy-in before construction began.
On the environmental side, the company says turbidity screens have been installed to contain sediment displaced during the structure's installation, protecting water clarity and biodiversity in the surrounding lagoon for the duration of the works.
Founded in 1997, Espace Pur holds a patent on the STABIPLAGE® technology and has carried out comparable projects internationally. The Trou aux Biches Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa works are being undertaken in partnership with New Mauritius Hotels Limited, which owns the resort. The company says the project reflects an effort to reconcile economic resilience, protection of tourism infrastructure and preservation of natural heritage, and has pledged further updates on the works in the coming weeks.
