Introduction

The Abu Musa Multipurpose Port, located in the Persian Gulf, is considered one of the strategically important maritime hubs of the country. The port infrastructure currently consists of the Western Breakwater (the original and main structure), the newly constructed Eastern Breakwater, and a rock-fill coastal dike situated along the northern boundary of the port. Hormozgan Ports and Maritime Authority awarded a contract to Sazeh Pardazi Iran Consulting Engineers to undertake comprehensive studies for the rehabilitation of Abu Musa Port’s breakwaters and coastal dike, as well as the design of the extension (arm) of the Eastern Breakwater. The scope of the first phase encompasses the collection of baseline data and review of upstream documentation, geological and geotechnical investigations, seismic hazard assessments, borrow area studies, hydrographic and topographic surveys, hydrodynamic modeling of waves and currents, sediment transport and coastal morphology analyses, and environmental impact assessments. In addition, the preliminary design of key maritime components including breakwaters, harbor basin layout, dredging operations, aids to navigation, land reclamation in the backshore area, as well as crisis management and civil defense planning will be carried out. The second phase will focus on the preparation of detailed engineering designs and construction drawings for the breakwaters, coastal protection works, dredging operations, and reclamation schemes. This stage also involves the development of detailed technical specifications, accurate cost estimates, project implementation schedules, project identification documents, and comprehensive risk assessments. The outputs will ultimately be compiled into complete tender documents to facilitate the execution of the works.
