2/26/24, 11:08 AM Dubai Municipality announces $30m Creek wall safety project to prevent flooding - Arabian Business
“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.”

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 8m and increasing its height to 3m.

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.

The Creek is one of the most vital historic maritime channels in the Emirate,

marking the initiation of the city’s trade interactions with the world over a

century ago.

Despite the extensive development in the Emirate, 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.
