Al Bahri Road Coastal Protection Project – Muttrah, Phase 1

Al Bahri Road Coastal Protection Project – Muttrah, Phase 1

Location: Muttrah, Muscat, Oman
Category: Marine & Coastal Construction

Cahit Trading and Contracting LLC is undertaking the Construction of Remedial Measures for Revetment Failure Along Al Bahri Road in Muttrah Area – Phase 01, a major coastal protection project awarded by Muscat Municipality to strengthen the resilience of the coastal road against wave action, erosion and further damage to existing protection structures.

With a contract value of OMR 3 million, the project addresses damaged coastal protection infrastructure along Muttrah’s seafront. The first phase covers Zones 4 and 5, extending approximately 268 metres, according to reporting by Oman Observer https://www.omanobserver.om/article/1197980/oman/governorates/ro-3-million-project-to-strengthen-muttrah-coastal-road-protection .

The project involves specialized marine and civil engineering activities designed to rehabilitate existing revetment structures and reinforce the protection of the road and adjacent infrastructure. The reported project works include rock protection rehabilitation, concrete anchoring piles, installation of breakwater units, repairs to damaged sections of existing walls, and maintenance of the road and pavements.

Cahit Trading and Contracting LLC’s documented contract scope for the two zones includes dredging and rock armour placement in Zone 4, and sea wave wall construction, dredging, rock armour placement, and Core-Loc casting and placement in Zone 5.

These activities require careful coordination of marine construction operations, material placement and structural works to ensure compliance with approved technical specifications and the requirements of the project.

The project reflects Cahit Trading and Contracting LLC’s capabilities in coastal protection, revetment rehabilitation, marine construction and infrastructure improvement. By addressing weaknesses in existing coastal protection structures, the works aim to help safeguard an important section of Muttrah’s coastal road and improve the long-term resilience of the surrounding infrastructure.
