The project consisted of the expansion of Port of Beirut, through the extension of Quay 16.5 Km into the east, reaching the mouth of the Beirut River, through reclaiming 140000m² of land. This expansion increased the container terminals’ capacity by 450000TEUs. ACTS has performed the geotechnical investigation campaign which included conducting a geophysical seismic reflection survey for 1150000m² area, drilling around 60 off‐shore boreholes, and performing around 83 cone penetration tests. The investigation also included performing numerous laboratory tests on selected soil/rock samples in order to determine the various strata properties relevant to the geotechnical study.
