Our Approach

At PLC Contracting LLC, we specialize in the design and construction of artificial reefs, providing sustainable solutions that enhance marine biodiversity and support local ecosystems. Our expertise in this field is backed by years of experience and a commitment to environmental stewardship.

Why Artificial Reefs Construction Matters

Artificial reefs are engineered structures placed in marine environments to restore ecosystems, support biodiversity, and enhance coastal resources. Together, they contribute to:

Supporting Marine Life

Artificial reefs provide shelter, breeding grounds, and feeding habitats for fish, corals, and other marine organisms, helping to rebuild depleted populations and maintain ecological balance.

Enhancing Fisheries & Recreation

By attracting marine life, artificial reefs improve fishing opportunities, support sustainable aquaculture, and create new recreational diving and tourism experiences.

Coastal Protection & Habitat Restoration

Strategically placed reefs can reduce wave energy, prevent erosion, and protect shorelines, while promoting long-term restoration of degraded habitats

Fisheries Support:

Increasing fish stocks and improving the sustainability of commercial and recreational fishing.

At PLC, we understand the importance of artificial reefs in promoting marine biodiversity, sustainable fisheries, and resilient coastal environments. Through careful design and deployment, we deliver reefs that are both ecologically beneficial and durable in challenging marine conditions.

Our Work

Project Show Case

AFR - THE WORLD ISLANDS
DUBAI, U.A.E

One of our Marine Projects was to remove and replace SHED armour units protecting the man-made island where the iconic Burj Al Arab hotel stands. Rather than bringing the 1,500 precast concrete SHED armour units to shore and disposing to landfill, PLC repurposed them into an artificial fish reef outside the boundary of The World Islands, Dubai, UAE. The SHED units were removed one by one from Burj Al Arab shore protection and loaded onto barges via crane; the barges then sailed to proposed location. The SHED armour units were then placed individually in 5 locations by divers in 2 layers utilising crane barge.

LA MER PROJECT
DUBAI, U.A.E

As part of the La Mer Project which was the creation of 3 large scale peninsula via land reclamation off the coast of Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE, demolition of existing concrete armour units (Stabits) was required prior to the remodelling of the Dubai Coastline. Rather than bringing the precast concrete Stabit armour units to shore and disposing to landfill, PLC repurposed the Stabits into an artificial fish reef outside the boundary of the new Project on the South Peninsula. The Stabits were removed individually from the shore protection and loaded onto barges via crane; the barges then sailed to proposed location. The Stabit armour units were then placed individually in 1 location by divers in 3 layers utilising crane barge.
