Dock and outer esplanade of the dike next to Isla Verde
The project, developed in the Bay of Algeciras Port at the request of the infrastructure’s port authority, involves forming an esplanade of over 50 hectares outside the existing breakwater, using filling material. It is bounded to the north by a 696-metre-long gravity quay wall, with a water depth of 18.40 metres, constructed using 13 reinforced concrete caissons.
It is also connected to the existing breakwater through a submerged concrete closure, to the south, complemented by a 960-metre-long rockfill containment dike, ensuring the structural integrity of the development. To the east, the new infrastructure connects with another 1,018-metre-long gravity quay wall, with depths ranging between 18.50 and 20.50 metres, built using 20 reinforced concrete caissons.
