Supreme and construction supervision on floating pier and supportive facility construction of Abu Khozair Estuary

About Project

Abu Khozair Estuary is one of the branches of Abu Musa Estuary, due to its hydrodynamic conditions, it is a proper location for fishing boat boarding. The project of floating pier construction was planned to organize about 150 fishing boats and raise the quality of the products caught in Shadegan City. Due to tidal fluctuations, the fishing pier is considered to be floating. Due to problems with the contractor during the implementation, design documents were submitted for review with changes in the structure of the docks, useful deck area and bidirectional pile bracing system in 2016. In this review, the offshore section was separated from the onshore structure. All the superior and construction supervision was carried out by Asarab Consultancy Engineers Co. in offshore simultaneously with construction of a floating pier, access bridges, shore protection structures and onshore facilities.
