Petkim Quay No:3 Strengthening Project – Construction, Installation, Implementation, and Berth Front Dredging Works

Within the Scope of Quay No: 3 Berth Strengthening Construction Works:

  • Removal/relocation of existing infrastructure and superstructure within the project area,

  • Breaking, excavation, and disposal of existing concrete pavement surfaces,

  • Breaking, dismantling, and disposal of existing quay superstructure concrete blocks,

  • Installation (driving) of steel pipe piles belonging to the quay structure,

  • Drilling inside piles where required within the quay structure,

  • Performing compression load tests, tension tests, lateral load tests, and dynamic pile capacity tests (PDA Test) on quay piles,

  • Construction of reinforced concrete works inside the quay piles,

  • Sand filling between the quay piles and the concrete block quay structure,

  • Construction of cast-in-place capping beams for the quay structure,

  • Construction of bored pile works,

  • Manufacturing and installation of precast gravity blocks for the quay structure,

  • Supply and installation of tie-back system anchors and accessories,

  • Supply and installation of fenders on the quay structure,

  • Supply and installation of bollards / quick release hooks on the quay structure,

  • Design and implementation of sacrificial anode type cathodic protection for quay piles,

  • Impregnation of the underside of the quay with water-repellent material,

  • Construction of concrete pavement works in the quay and backland areas,

  • Dredging works in front of the quay.

Within the scope of the project, 85,000 m³ of seabed dredging was carried out to ensure the operational depth of the quay.

In order to strengthen the load-bearing system of the quay, a total of 5,360 meters of Ø914.4 mm diameter steel pipe piles, weighing 2,463 tons, were driven.
As part of the structural superstructure works, 2,980 m³ of marine concrete (C35) was poured, and approximately 476 tons of reinforcement steel were used in these works.

Summary Table:

  • Dredging Volume: 85,000 m³

  • Total Steel Pile Length: 5,360 m / 2,463 tons

  • Total Concrete: 2,980 m³

  • Total Reinforcement: ~476 tons
