Diera is one of the oldest communities in Dubai, sustaining on the front of the famous Dubai Creek. With its rich culture and tradition, the Diera Community is one of the most important economic hubs in the region.
The Deira Waterfront Development is strategically placed in the northern area of the Deira District, right across the street where the old Souqs and the Dubai Creek is located. It is planned to ensure the natural growth of the city, driving economic success and vitality of the area. Regenerating one of the oldest communities of the city will not only preserve the unique cultural values but will be extremely crucial for the city’s economic success.
The Deira Waterfront Development Project is in close proximity to the central destination and aims to have several fun components like leisure facilities, parks, and plazas, bicycle routes, transportation hubs along with retail facilities. It also involves the construction of several new plazas, mixed-use buildings, and green open spaces.
Apart from the new construction, the existing shops, commercial zones, parking, hotels, etc will also be improved to blend with the description of mixed-use development. The intention is to have a unique and beautiful seafront.
The Waterfront Project allows the Diera community to creatively and intelligently to blend the past, present, and future while preserving the heritage and culture.
Deira Waterfront Development – Plot 13
Phase 1 of the Deira Waterfront Project involved the development of 30 plots along the waterfront, with each having its set of developments and designs.
One such plot, Plot-13 is situated in the north area of Dubai in the Deira District. The Mixed Used Development at Plot 13 involved the construction of a two-level basement (approximately 10 m deep excavation) between the Al Shindagha tunnel and Dubai Metro Green Line tunnel.
The shoring work was in close vicinity to both the tunnels, with the nearest edge only 10m from the Green Line Tunnel and 15m from the existing Al Shindagha Road tunnel. The involvement of heavy construction activities so near to the tunnels made it crucial and necessary to monitor the areas.
Let’s take a look at the proposed monitoring solution by Encardio-rite, followed by the instrumentation of the site.
Monitoring Solution – Deira Waterfront Development
With a considerable risk involved due to the existing tunnels, the main intention of the instrumentation and monitoring procedure was to systematically recognise any design risks caused by the construction. For complete safety, it was crucial to monitor the response of ground, groundwater and viaduct foundations during the construction period.
The Turnkey Services Included:
Supply and Installation of Geotechnical and Geodetic Instruments
Manual and Automatic Surveying
Online Monitoring of crucial parameters and areas
Manual Monitoring of Installed Geotechnical Instruments
Daily & weekly reporting with evaluation & interpretations
Pre-construction condition monitoring of both the tunnels
Instrumentation – Deira Waterfront Development
Encardio-rite provided instrumentation and monitoring service for the ongoing excavation work as well as for the existing metro and road runnels.
