The Works include the extension of the dock and dredging maintenance of the dock in the Southern Extension of the Port of Valencia, as well as a water collection channel on the left bank of the old channel.
Perform the tasks established in Royal Decree 1627/1997, of October 24, including the previous revision of the Health and Safety Plan with the drafting of the corrections report, the favorable report of the Plan, and monitoring the work through field visits, with the compilation of the visit report.

WORK OBJECTIVE

The works carried out aim to achieve the extension in both surface area and length of the berthing line in the Dock adjacent to the mouth of Turia’s Old River Bed in the Port of Valencia.

A slope reinforcement was executed first to extend the dock surface. This consisted of a quarry stone core, a protection filter measuring 1.2º mts thickness with concrete blocks of between 100 to 200 kg and a protection seawall weighing over 3,00 tonnes.

This jetty blocks the mouth of the old river and cannot be completed until the old river bed has been diverted towards the south harbor basin, in the Turia Quay.
