Description of project

A few elements of the projects are dealt with further below:
Boundary conditions, design criteria and requirements:
Per location the starting points of the natural boundary conditions, existing situation, the boats and expected growth, design criteria and client requirements were laid down.

Site visits location interactions:
For the various sites interactions were held with the ministries, local government, local chiefs, chief fisherman etc.

Sittings and master plans of required new facilities:
For all the locations the need and the size of the required new facilities was evaluated. After this step per location the options for the siting was evaluated and for the best locations master plans were made.

Surveys and investigations
A detailed bathymetric and topographic survey of the various sites was made. The project also involved investigations of the available materials, the costs etc.

Design and detailed design:
For the various sites all the elements concerned are designed. This involves where required the dredging, reclamation, breakwaters, the quays, the slope protections, the roads, drainage, the buildings etc.
The breakwaters, slope protections and protected quay areas are designed using our high end computer models. The inputs for the models were the deep water wave boundaries and the detailed bathymetry using the results of the surveys of the areas.
For the bigger sites the buildings involved are buildings for: mending nets, gutting of fish, fish market, day care for kids, administration building, ice making plant, engine maintenance and repair, fuel depot etc. All the designs are inclusive all civil, mechanical, electrical, lighting, architectural and landscape issues.

Environmental Impact Assessment:
For the various sites all issues regarding environmental impact assessment with the scoping reports are dealt with. This also involves resettlement issues where applicable and all required interactions.
