2/26/24, 11:10 AM Dubai Municipality initiates project to develop Dubai Creek pier, upgrade support walls
Furthermore, we have conducted technical studies to devise construction designs

that can enhance the efficiency of the marine docks on both banks.

These designs adhere to the highest global standards, ensuring the preservation of

the supporting walls' stability and safeguarding against increased flooding during

seasonal weather conditions." Al Hajri added.

Comprehensive work

The project's 14-month timeline includes the restoration of the 2.1 km Deira pier,

which involves replacement and the rehabilitation of damaged sections of the

concrete wall, reaching a depth of 8 meters and increasing its height to 3 meters.

These improvements aim to ensure the safe docking of ships in the area.

By initiating this project, the Municipality aims to enhance services and facilities

for safe docking and navigation, which will be ensured through the provision of 200

anchors across the dock.

Dubai Creek is one of the most vital historic maritime channels in the Emirate,
marking the initiation of Dubai's trade interactions with the world over a century

ago.

Despite the extensive development in the Emirate of Dubai, the Creek continues to

maintain its historical, commercial, and economic importance, along with modern

projects prevalent in the emirate, in addition to serving as a significant tourist hub

for residents, visitors, and tourists.
