“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.
