The Port of Beirut is situated north of Beirut,
Lebanon. Sellhorn had been appointed by the Port Authority to assist
in the extension of the existing container terminal. The 1st phase
was an extension study, developing four options which have been
evaluated and compared with regard to the long term development
of the port. A 2nd phase included the preliminary design for the
most suitable short term solution and a 3rd phase included the preparation
of Tender Documents for the latter option and also participation
and assistance during the Tender Process.
Phase I:
The following design basics have been defined and assessed by Sellhorn:
- Wave modelling study for the eastern Mediterranean and in higher
resolution for the port vicinity to obtain design waves and wave
occurrence probabilities.
- Design vessels and resulting sea bed level requirements.
- Navigational study regarding approach, departure and turning
manoeuvre of container vessels.
- Structural evaluation of existing quay walls, design parameters
and recommendation for future quay walls.
- Earthquake and soil data collection and evaluation.
- Container throughput study.
- Assessment of required terminal area.
- Arrangement of several berthing/ quay wall options (4 options).
- Advice on additional equipment based on available infrastructure,

Phase II:
Preliminary design and calculations for the most suitable short
term solution resulting from Phase I, which included mainly:
- Dredging works
- Reclamation works
- Soil compaction
- Quay wall design
- Quay wall furniture and interface infrastructure.
Phase III:
Based on the design of Phase II, Tender Documents have been prepared,
which included bidding procedure, legal and technical requirements,
drawings, specifications, method of measurements, conditions of
contract etc.
