Project Overview
EDECS took the lead in the Dredging and Widening Works in Basin-3 Al Sokhna Seaport project in Egypt, a multifaceted project consisting of two integral stages. Initially, in collaboration with esteemed partners, EDECS dredged 330,000 cubic meters of material from Basin-3, depositing it at a designated off-shore dumping area to fulfill the requirements of Dubai Ports World. Subsequently, leveraging the capabilities of the Backhoe Red October, EDECS deepened the basin and widened its northern side, dredging an additional 400,000 cubic meters of material. Simultaneously, essential tasks such as removing existing shore protection, precisely cutting and trimming new slopes, and installing geotextile filters were meticulously executed. These collective endeavors resulted in the establishment of robust protections for the newly formed slopes, significantly enhancing the operational capacity and navigational accessibility of Basin-3 at Al Sokhna Seaport.
