Why Quay Wall Construction Matters

Quay walls are fundamental to the success of modern ports, harbors, and waterfront developments. These vital marine structures provide the foundation for safe, efficient, and long-term coastal operations. Quay wall construction plays a critical role in:

Supporting Port Infrastructure

Enabling berthing, cargo handling, and vessel mooring through strong, stable platforms that withstand high loads and dynamic marine conditions.

Maximizing Operational Efficiency

Facilitating smooth port logistics and maritime trade by providing reliable, purpose-built structures tailored to commercial and industrial needs.

Driving Economic Development

Strengthening regional economies by supporting trade, transportation, and industrial expansion along coastlines.

At PLC, we understand the strategic importance of quay wall construction in shaping resilient, future-ready marine infrastructure—especially along the rapidly evolving coastlines of the Middle East.

Our Work

Project Show Case

PORT DE LA MER
Dubai, U.A.E
The overall Project was to provide a new peninsula for multi-purpose development, 4 million m3 of reclamation and compaction, 1,890m of Shore Protection. Within this project was to construct 1.6 km of Quay Wall using precast concrete gravity blocks with in-situ capping beam. PLC opted to overfill and introduce deep well dewatering allowing the full length of quay wall to be constructed in dry conditions. This initiative allowed for precision placement, structural integrity, and a safer worker environment.
NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
ABU DHABI, U.A.E
Traditional gravity block quay wall construction however with 12 non-standard corners and a parabolic curved section. The blocks were locally pre-casted with precision and installed accurately with experienced divers. The insitu capping beams were changed to precast shells to avoid tidal working conditions, increase concrete face quality and accelerate the overall programme of works.
KALBA FISHING PORT
SHARJAH, U.A.E
Construction of new sheet piled quay wall and capping beam with handrails and access ramps to boat landings. The sheet piled wall was installed from land however in a marine environment, utilising floating pontoons and guide rails. This design & build project was optimised with rear of quay anchor piles and tie rods.
