Project Description

Dredging works: Dredging works mainly consist of dredging of channel, turning basin and berth pocket. The berth pocket located at the jetty apron is 65m in width and designed water design is -15.5m. The turning basin is in oval-shape with major axis of 580m, minor axis of 430m and designed water depth of -12.5m

The natural water is rather shallow from Port Qasim wharves to the proposed power plant. A new channel has been constructed which is about 4.0 km in length, 150m in designed width and -12.5m in designed bottom elevation. The quantity of dredged materials was around 5.30 million m³, from which, 1.00 million m³ has been used for reclamation of the power plant. And the remaining 4.30 million m³ has been disposed off to the two disposal areas duly approved by PQA .
