East Port Said Marine
Executive Summary
In 2016, a major quay wall construction project was executed at East Port Said Port for the Engineering Authority of the Armed Forces. The project involved the construction of a high-capacity combined quay wall system designed to accommodate large vessels with deep draughts. The scope included extensive piling, marine works, reclamation, utilities, and infrastructure, supported by large-scale concrete and steel production under demanding port conditions.
Project Description
The project scope covered the construction of a combined quay wall system with advanced marine and foundation works, including:
Quay Wall Type: Combined Wall
King piles: 2.0 m diameter, 67 m depth
Sheet piles: 1.40 m width, 24.8 m depth
Total quay wall length: 456 m
Design draught: 17.5 m
Foundation System:
2 internal rows of bored piles: 1.2 m diameter, 67 m depth
1 back row of bored piles: 1.2 m diameter, 67 m depth
CFA piles: 0.60 m diameter, 18 m depth
Total quantities executed:
Steel pipes: 13,000 tons
Reinforcement steel: 39,000 tons
Concrete: 100,000 m³
Average daily concrete production: 800 m³/day
Rock works: 40,000 tons
Piling works: 40,000 linear meters
Paved area: 30,000 m²
Client Challenge
The project required the construction of a deep-draft quay wall within an active port environment, involving complex piling systems and large material quantities. Key challenges included coordinating piling, marine, and reclamation works, achieving high concrete production rates, and maintaining quality and safety standards while working under tight schedules and marine constraints.
