Bahrain’s Ministry of Works has launched a new dredging and land reclamation technical manual for all dredging and land reclamation works in the kingdom.
The manual aims to create environmental and economic benefits and ensure protection against natural disasters by detailing specific processes, procedures and guidelines for dredging, land reclamation and other associated activities in the kingdom.
According to Nayef Omar Al Kalali, the manual was produced as part of a larger overall undertaking, which included a study to investigate and redefine existing recommended reclamation levels.
The study was produced with input from a consortium led by Dutch consultant Deltares and included Delft Hydraulics, Anthony Bates Partnership Dredging and Coastal Consultants and Dredging Research.
