Development of Sharm El-Sheikh Harbour

Sharm El-Sheikh is one of the jewels of Egyp’s travel and tourism destinations and ACE played a role in the development of Sharm’s harbour area. The development plans for the harbour comprised the installation of the following:

• Principal platform with a total length of 300m
• Two basins and U-shaped marina with a total length of 130m
• Reserve platform with a total length of 200m
• Blocks platform with a total length of 60m

Our scope of work:

• Study of seismicity and tectonic activity of the harbour area.
• Subsurface geology and geotechnical studies of the harbour area. These comprised the drilling and sampling of 10 boreholes down to 25 m depth in the marine area of the harbour to identify its subsurface geology.
