2/26/24, 11:09 AM PRESSR: Dubai Municipality initiates project to develop Dubai Creek pier and upgrade support walls — TradingView News
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

neighboring 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.

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.
