Alexandria marine port
Executive Summary
In 2020, the TMT Tahya Masr Multi-Purpose Port Quays (Berths 55–62) project was executed in Alexandria for EGMPT – Egyptian Group for Multi-Purpose Terminals. The project involved large-scale reclamation, advanced soil improvement techniques, and the construction of high-capacity quay walls and terminal infrastructure to support multi-purpose port operations.
Project Description
The project scope included extensive marine, civil, and infrastructure works, highlighted by the following key components:
Terminal Area Reclamation:
Area: 550,000 m²
Total reclamation volume: 10,300,000 m³
Soil Improvement Techniques:
PVD (Prefabricated Vertical Drains)
VC (Vibro Compaction)
RIC (Rapid Impact Compaction)
Quay Wall System:
Type: Diaphragm Wall
Length: 1,250 m
Design draught: 14.5 / 17.0 m
Foundation Works:
Bored piles: 1.5 m diameter
Barrettes: 2.8 m width
Total piling works: 21,000 linear meters
Concrete Works:
Total concrete volume: 200,000 m³
Pavement Works:
Paved area: 560,000 m²
Built-up Area:
10,000 m²
Client Challenge
The project required the execution of massive reclamation and soil improvement works to create a stable foundation for port infrastructure, while constructing deep-draught quay walls and terminal facilities within a tight schedule. Coordinating multiple soil improvement techniques, piling systems, and marine works across a large terminal area demanded precise planning, high productivity, and strict quality control.
