Work stages
The first stage:-
crossing the shatt al-arab river in the garma ali region by making a shaft enter the drilling machine on the river side with a depth of 28 meters and the tunnel under the river with length of 400 meters ussing concrete pipes with diameter of 2600 mm from inside and 3100 mm from outside, wich are designed within standard specifications prepared for this project a 1600 mm diameter ductile pipe passes through it this is considered the first work in iraq with this depth and technology under the river.
DEVELOPMENT OF SITE WORKS AND PROJECTS
Specialized high-load cranes are used for the purpose of drilling to a depth of 28 meters and by using special molds to pour the walls of the shafts, where the work is in the form of sinking the pits and the work of the tunnel by a German-origin jacking machine with a diameter of 2600 mm with all its attachments.
In addition to excavators, flippers and loaders, according to work requirements.
