They will use radar to scan waste ground near the Portuguese apartment where she vanished in 2007.

UK sniffer dogs are also expected to join an operation set to last up to six days in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz.

They are said to be focussing on three sites next to the Ocean Club where Madeleine, (left) then three, and her parents Kate, 46, and Gerry, 45, (right) were staying. The start date claim comes less than a week after Scotland Yard chiefs said the probe would soon enter a “substantial” new phase.

“The Yard has not ruled out the possibility Madeleine is still alive.”

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said: “There is going to be a substantial phase of operational activity involving Portuguese police with British police in support.

“In a major investigation with multiple lines of inquiry and hypotheses, you have to systematically work through them all. This is a phase of activity based on those principles.”

One plot is thought to be fenced-off wasteland a two-minute walk from the McCanns’ holiday apartment.

Diggers and other equipment are expected to be hired.

Met Police are also expected to include interviews with eight new suspects. Several are understood to be former employees of the Ocean Club.

Praia da Luz parish council leader Victor Mata has attacked the police excavation plans.

He told a Portuguese paper soon after the first reports of the dig plans emerged: “It’s bad for tourism.

“It beggars belief they’re preparing to open up holes here a month before summer.”
