The Hamriyah Fishermen’s Quay Construction Works project in Fujairah, UAE, is a vital initiative aimed at enhancing the region’s maritime infrastructure to support the local fishing community. China Harbour Engineering Co. LLC has been tasked with the construction of the quay wall and jetty, which are essential components for facilitating safe berthing and docking of fishing vessels.
Scope of Work
Quay Wall Construction:
- Site Preparation: Clearing and leveling the construction area to prepare for the installation of the quay wall.
- Foundation Work: Excavating trenches and laying foundations to support the quay wall structure securely.
- Quay Wall Structure: Constructing the quay wall using reinforced concrete or other suitable materials to withstand marine conditions and provide stability for berthed vessels.
- Fender Systems: Installing fender systems along the quay wall to absorb impact forces from incoming vessels and prevent damage to both the quay wall and the vessels.
- Utilities Integration: Incorporating necessary utilities such as lighting, mooring bollards, and safety equipment into the quay wall design to support operational activities and ensure user safety.
Jetty Construction:
- Design and Engineering: Developing detailed plans and engineering specifications for the jetty, considering factors such as water depth, tidal variations, and vessel size.
- Piling and Foundation: Driving piles into the seabed to create a stable foundation for the jetty structure, ensuring structural integrity and load-bearing capacity.
- Superstructure Construction: Building the jetty superstructure, including decking, access ramps, and mooring facilities, to facilitate safe berthing and disembarkation of fishing vessels.
- Safety Measures: Implementing safety features such as handrails, non-slip surfaces, and signage to ensure the safety of personnel and fishermen using the jetty.
Project Management: Effective project management practices will be employed to oversee all phases of quay wall and jetty construction, including planning, scheduling, budgeting, procurement, and risk management. Clear communication channels will be maintained with stakeholders to address any challenges promptly and ensure project milestones are met within the specified timeframe and budget constraints.
Environmental Considerations: Environmental sustainability will be a priority throughout the project, with measures in place to minimize ecological impact. This includes sediment control, erosion prevention, and adherence to environmental regulations to preserve the natural habitat and marine ecosystem.
Conclusion: The construction of the quay wall and jetty for the Hamriyah Fishermen’s Quay project in Fujairah, UAE, represents a significant investment in enhancing maritime infrastructure to support the local fishing community. Through meticulous planning, expert engineering, and adherence to the highest standards of safety and quality, China Harbour Engineering Co. LLC aims to deliver a durable and functional quay wall and jetty that meet the needs of the client and contribute to the sustainable development of the region’s coastal areas.
