Construction of piers

The construction of piers involves building structures extending into bodies of water to facilitate docking, loading, and unloading of vessels. Here's a brief outline of the process:
Design and Planning: Piers are designed based on the intended use, water depth, tidal variations, and environmental factors. The design phase includes determining the size, shape, and materials for construction.
Foundation Preparation: Before construction begins, the seabed is surveyed and prepared to ensure stability. This may involve dredging, driving piles, or constructing underwater foundations.
Superstructure Construction: Piers are built using various materials such as concrete, steel, or timber. Construction techniques may include casting concrete, welding steel beams, or assembling prefabricated sections.
Deck Installation: The pier deck is constructed to provide a stable surface for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. This may involve pouring concrete, laying timber decking, or installing precast panels.
Utility Installation: Utilities such as lighting, water, electricity, and communication systems are installed to support pier operations and ensure safety and convenience for users.
Safety Features: Safety measures such as railings, ladders, and life-saving equipment are incorporated into pier design to protect users and prevent accidents.
Environmental Considerations: Environmental impact assessments are conducted to minimize disruption to marine ecosystems and comply with regulatory requirements for coastal development.

Piers play a crucial role in maritime transportation, tourism, and recreation, providing essential infrastructure for vessel access and waterfront activities.

On the basis of the license issued by the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Azerbaijan on November 1, 2019 under the registration number EL-627/2019, "PROJECT BUILDING CONSTRUCTION" was allowed to carry out the construction of piers.
