2/26/24, 11:13 AM                  Dubai Municipality initiates project to develop Dubai Creek pier, upgrade support walls
        conditions. This effort aims to minimize disruptions to commercial traffic caused by

        flooding or bad weather.


        The project is set to be implemented in two phases, with the initial phase involving
        the restoration of a 2.1 km stretch along the Deira side of Dubai Creek. The site
        will be divided into multiple sections, and each segment will be sequentially
        patterned to ensure uninterrupted docking traffic. The second phase will cover a
        2.3 km length on the Bur Dubai side.



        Global Reputation: Dawoud Al Hajri, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, stated

        that the project highlights Dubai Municipality's commitment to
        transforming Dubai into a more attractive and innovative city by enhancing various
        elements and services it offers through the strategic and sustainable development
        of all coastal facilities and infrastructure in the Emirate. The goal is to
        solidify Dubai's position as a global tourism hub and augment its economic and
        commercial prosperity.



        Al Hajri said, "The project is set to improve security and safety measures for

        maritime traffic and commercial operations within Dubai Creek. As a significant
        symbol of the city's growth, Dubai Creek serves as a vibrant artery at the heart
        of Dubai.


        Facilitating the passage of over 13,000 ships annually, it plays a key role in fostering
        the economic and social prosperity of the emirate. Additionally, the creek further

        supports commercial dealings with neighbouring markets in the region."




        "We have implemented several measures to mitigate the risks posed by climate
        change and rising sea levels, closely monitoring changes on both sides of the creek.

        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.
