ES Denizcilik Marine Construction

Leader of the Industry in Marine Construction

Marine construction is a sophisticated discipline that encompasses engineering solutions performed in marine environments to strengthen the infrastructure of maritime trade and transportation, sustainably utilize marine resources, and protect coastal areas from natural threats.

Marine construction goes beyond just technical structural building; it focuses on projects that are in harmony with marine ecosystems, carry environmental responsibility, and serve long-term sustainability goals. This field of engineering, covering both coastal and offshore areas, aims to develop visionary projects that support global economic growth, preserve environmental balance, and maximize social benefits.

ES Denizcilik is one of Turkiye's leading marine construction companies. With its advanced fleet, the company has successfully completed many projects requiring specialized engineering knowledge. It is particularly known for its port construction and dredging projects aimed at the petrochemical and steel industries. ES Denizcilik's areas of expertise include coastal construction, underwater construction, seabed dredging, and offshore construction.

The seabed dredging process involves clearing and leveling the seabed to construct underwater structures. This process is critical for port, dock, pipeline, and other marine construction projects. Dredging removes stones, sand, mud, or other obstacles from the seabed and helps create a smooth foundation for the structure to be built.

In the initial phase, the area to be dredged is mapped, and a geotechnical survey is conducted. This helps identify the type, depth, and distribution of obstacles on the seabed. Additionally, environmental impacts are assessed, and necessary permits are obtained at this stage. Special machines and equipment are used for dredging. The most commonly used equipment includes dredging vessels.

The dredging process usually involves the dredging vessel descending to the seabed and performing excavation, suction, or spraying methods in a specific area. The dredging vessel carefully removes material from the seabed, achieving the desired depth and area. During dredging, organic or inorganic materials, mud, rocks, and other obstacles on the seabed are removed.The materials collected during dredging are usually transported to another area using split hopper vessels. These materials are transported to suitable areas for use in other construction projects. Disposal is carefully planned to avoid environmental harm. Once dredging is completed, the seabed is prepared for the construction of underwater structures. At this stage, preparations for piling, foundation construction, or other structures are made. The dredged area is now suitable for laying the foundation of the intended structure.

Coastal construction refers to projects carried out in the area between land and sea. These works include the construction of ports, docks, breakwaters, coastal protection walls, and beach structures. These projects, aimed at protecting and developing coastal areas, are designed with environmental factors in mind to avoid damaging marine ecosystems.

Underwater construction encompasses construction work carried out beneath the seas and oceans. This includes underwater tunnels, pipelines, subsea cables, bridge foundations, and underwater structures. Underwater construction is performed using specialized engineering solutions, underwater robotics, and deep-sea equipment.

Offshore construction involves projects carried out in areas far from the sea surface. These constructions include structures such as oil and gas platforms, offshore wind turbines, and subsea pipelines. The challenging weather conditions and deep-sea environments make these projects require high-level engineering and technological expertise.
