Marine & Port Demolition in Dubai: Safe Demolition in Harbours and Along Quay Walls

Dubai’s ports, harbours and marinas are in constant evolution. As vessels grow larger, quay walls get deeper, and waterfront masterplans change, many aging marine structures must be strengthened, replaced – or safely demolished.

Unlike demolishing a building on land, marine and port demolition in Dubai happens on the edge of water, above piles and underwater foundations, next to live berths, fuel lines and navigation channels. A mistake can shut down a terminal, damage critical utilities or trigger serious environmental incidents.

Stone Beam Demolition is a specialist demolition company in Dubai with engineering-led services for complex demolition, concrete cutting, GPR scanning and hydrodemolition across the UAE. S&B Demolition+3S&B Demolition+3LinkedIn+3
In this guide, we explain how Stone Beam approaches marine and port demolition – especially demolition in harbours and along quay edges – with the technical depth, safety and environmental control that Dubai’s authorities now expect.

How Marine Demolition Differs from Conventional Demolition

1. A Sensitive Marine Environment

Marine and port structures sit in a highly aggressive and sensitive environment:

  • Salt water attacking concrete and reinforcement
  • Tides, waves and currents acting continuously on the structure
  • Soft seabed or reclaimed land backfill behind quay walls
  • Marine life, seagrass, artificial reefs and tourism activities around the site

Marine contractors in the UAE routinely construct quay walls, jetties, dolphins, breakwaters and marinas in these conditions. Al Fattan Marine+3Marafi+3Dive Tech UAE+3
Demolishing such assets means working in the same environment – but while removing stability, not adding it. That makes planning, temporary works and monitoring absolutely critical.

2. Operational & Navigational Constraints

Ports, cruise terminals and marinas around Dubai are rarely “empty”. Ships, ferries, yachts and supply vessels are moving every day, and port operators cannot pause operations for months.

  • Work often has to be staged around live berths and navigation channels.
  • Marine operations may be restricted by windows – only at night, only at slack tide, only outside peak cruise or cargo hours.
  • Temporary exclusion zones on water and land must be defined and enforced.

International marine demolition case studies (jetty, dolphin and berth removal) highlight the need for specialised barges, cranes, underwater cutting tools and marine traffic management to keep navigation safe during demolition. Underwater Solutions+2Amazon Web Services, Inc.+2

3. Heavy Regulation and Permitting

Marine demolition touches multiple authorities in Dubai:

  • Dubai Municipality (DM) – issues environmental clearances for development and infrastructure projects, including marine works, with detailed Environmental Clearance guidance and Construction Environmental Control Plan (CECP) requirements. dda+3Dubai Municipality+3Dubai Municipality+3
  • Dubai Maritime Authority (DMA) – issues marine operations permits and near/off-shore project permits to ensure coastal and marine projects comply with safety and environmental rules in Dubai waters. Dubai Land Department+3Dubai Maritime Authority+3Dubai Maritime Authority+3
  • Ports & free zones (e.g. PCFC / EHS) – often require separate environmental NOCs for harbour discharges and marine construction/demolition activities. PCFC+1

Add to this federal requirements on environmental protection and demolition waste management in the UAE, and it’s clear that marine demolition is a permit-intensive activity, not just a technical task.

4. Complex Structural Behaviour

Ports and marine structures are not typical framed buildings:

  • Quay walls can be massive gravity walls, sheet-pile walls with tie-backs, or piled decks with concrete beams and slabs. Al Fattan Marine+1
  • Jetties, link-spans and access bridges may be prestressed concrete or steel girder structures.
  • Dolphins, mooring structures and ramps often combine steel piles with reinforced concrete caps.

Engineering literature on demolition of prestressed bridges stresses the need for staged analysis, reverse-construction sequences and careful monitoring at each phase to avoid sudden failure.


Those same principles apply to marine bridges, ramps and jetty heads.

Types of Marine & Port Structures Demolished in Dubai

Quay Walls and Berths

Typical targets for quay wall and berth demolition:

  • Piled quay decks (concrete slabs on reinforced/prestressed beams and piles)
  • Blockwork gravity walls founded on rock or concrete foundations Al Fattan Marine+1
  • Sheet-pile bulkheads with concrete capping beams
  • Rear crane beams and service trenches along the quay

Reasons for demolition or partial removal include:

  • Deepening the berth to receive larger ships
  • Replacing older walls that no longer meet load criteria
  • Reconfiguring berth geometry for new cranes or Ro-Ro operations

Jetties, Dolphins and Mooring Structures

Marine civil contractors across the UAE frequently build and modify:

Stone Beam’s marine demolition work focuses on safe removal or modification of these structures, including cutting piles, lifting caps and cleaning the seabed.

Marine Bridges, Ramps and Link-Spans

Access bridges between land and quay, or from land to offshore platforms, are often prestressed or composite structures. They demand:

  • Detailed demolition engineering to reverse construction stages safely
  • Traffic management to maintain port or marina operations through temporary routes
  • Close coordination with operators because these structures are often critical lifelines.

Breakwaters, Seawalls and Revetments

Harbour protection structures such as:

may need partial demolition when realigning shorelines, widening channels or installing new outfalls.

Ancillary Marine Infrastructure

Marine and port demolition also includes:

  • Concrete slipways and boat ramps
  • Outfall and intake headworks, culverts and culvert outlets
  • Pipe racks, utility galleries and cable ducts above or near water

These elements must be surveyed and phased with extreme care because they often carry critical utilities feeding port, industrial or tourism facilities.

Regulatory & Environmental Framework for Marine Demolition in Dubai

Dubai Municipality Environmental Clearance & CECP

Dubai Municipality’s Environmental Sustainability team issues Environmental Clearances (EC) for development and infrastructure projects, including marine works like dredging, reclamation, quay walls and maritime infrastructure. The official guidance requires: dda+3Dubai Municipality+3Dubai Municipality+3

  • Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA / EIAR) for large marine projects
  • A Construction Environmental Control Plan (CECP) detailing how contractors will manage noise, dust, water quality, waste and spills during construction or demolition
  • Baseline and ongoing monitoring of air and water quality, noise and ecology when relevant

Any serious marine and port demolition project should plan its method statement to align with these requirements from day one.

Dubai Maritime Authority Permits

The Dubai Maritime Authority (DMA) regulates marine operations in Dubai waters – including ports, harbours, marinas, canals and creeks. DMA’s marine operations and near/off-shore project permits are designed to: Dubai Land Department+3Dubai Maritime Authority+3Dubai Maritime Authority+3

  • Control activities that may affect marine safety and navigation
  • Ensure coastal and marine projects comply with environmental and safety rules
  • Allow DMA inspectors to visit sites and verify compliance

For marine demolition, DMA typically requires:

  • Method statements showing barge positions, crane usage and exclusion zones
  • Navigation risk assessments
  • Proof of environmental approval (EC) and port authority consent

Port & Free Zone Environmental Permits

In port areas under PCFC/EHS or other free-zone authorities, additional environmental permits or NOCs may be needed, particularly for:

  • Harbour discharges during works (e.g. dewatering, cleaning) PCFC
  • Construction & demolition activities within port limits

Stone Beam coordinates with these authorities to avoid delays and to ensure that every port demolition contractor in Dubai requirement is satisfied before mobilisation.

Federal & Local Requirements for Demolition Waste

Technical guidelines and federal law in the UAE prohibit dumping construction and demolition waste in unauthorised locations, and require using licensed landfills or recycling facilities. dda+2Commitbiz LLC+2

Specialised literature on demolition and construction wastes emphasises:

  • Minimising waste generation
  • On-site segregation of concrete, steel and other materials
  • Maximising recycling, particularly of concrete and metals

Demolition-and-Construction-Was…

Stone Beam incorporates these principles into every port and marine demolition project in Dubai.

Stone Beam’s Engineering-Led Approach to Marine & Port Demolition

Stone Beam Demolition was founded in Dubai specifically to provide engineering-driven demolition solutions for demanding projects across the UAE – including port, oil & gas and infrastructure sectors. S&B Demolition+2S&B Demolition+2

Drawing on recognised demolition engineering references and internal HSE systems, Stone Beam applies a four-stage approach.

1. Desktop Study & Stakeholder Mapping

Before stepping onto site, the team:

  • Reviews as-built drawings, geotechnical reports and previous inspection reports
  • Identifies all stakeholders – port authority, DMA, Dubai Municipality, free-zone authorities, utility owners
  • Maps out required permits (environmental, marine operations, right-of-way, utility shutdowns, etc.)

This stage uses lessons from demolition engineering manuals and academic studies that emphasise early risk identification and planning instead of reacting later during demolition.

2. Detailed Surveys: Topside, Subsurface & Underwater

A successful marine demolition contractor in UAE needs accurate data.

Stone Beam combines:

  • Topside structural surveys – checking visible damage, corrosion, settlement and deformations
  • Utility surveys – using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and other non-destructive testing to locate buried utilities and reinforcement before cutting, as shown in their own concrete scanning services in Dubai. Demolition Dubai+3S&B Demolition+3Marshal Demolition+3
  • Bathymetric and underwater inspections – using divers or ROVs to inspect piles, caissons and toe conditions of quay walls
  • Environmental baseline surveys – sampling water quality (turbidity, suspended solids), and mapping any nearby sensitive marine habitats

3. Demolition Engineering & Method Statement

With survey data in hand, Stone Beam’s engineers:

  • Build simplified structural models of jetties, quay decks and bridges where needed, especially prestressed or heavily loaded structures

FULLTEXT01

  • Develop demolition sequences that reverse the original construction logic, while ensuring overall stability at each stage
  • Specify temporary supports or bracing where removal of certain members could destabilise the system
  • Choose technologies (excavators, wire-saws, hydrodemolition, underwater cutting) that minimise vibration, noise and environmental impact

The resulting Method Statement and Risk Assessment follow best-practice principles from demolition engineering literature – “engineering the demolition so the structure does not collapse on us”.

4. Permits, HSE and CECP Integration

Stone Beam then integrates all this into:

  • A project-specific HSE Plan aligned with Dubai’s construction safety codes and international best practice
  • A Construction Environmental Control Plan (CECP) that mirrors Dubai Municipality’s expectations for marine works – covering turbidity barriers, spill response, noise and waste. Dubai Municipality+2Dubai Municipality+2

Only after approvals are in place does the marine and port demolition in Dubai move into execution.

Demolition Methods & Technologies for Harbours and Quay Walls

Heavy Mechanical Demolition from Land or Barges

Where access allows, Stone Beam uses high-reach and long-reach excavators equipped with:

  • Hydraulic breakers
  • Concrete crushers and pulverisers
  • Shears for steel cutting

These machines operate either from:

  • The land side, on stabilised platforms behind the quay
  • Flat-top barges positioned alongside the structure

Mechanical demolition is ideal for:

  • Deck slabs and beams on piled quays
  • Parapets, fenders, bollard foundations and superstructures
  • Low-level jetties and ramps above water

The sequence always respects stability: remove non-structural and secondary elements first, then primary elements in a controlled, top-down manner.

Diamond Wire Sawing & Concrete Cutting

Many quay walls, caissons and pile caps are massive, heavily reinforced elements. For those, aggressive breaking is inefficient and creates excessive vibration for neighbouring assets.

Competitors in the region highlight wire sawing, wall sawing and core cutting as core services for controlled demolition. Wem Saudi+5Wemts+5Core Cutting Demolition UAE+5

Stone Beam provides concrete cutting and wire sawing in Dubai to:

  • Slice quay wall segments into liftable blocks
  • Cut piles at or below seabed level
  • Create openings or separation cuts between “to-demolish” and “to-retain” zones

Benefits:

  • Reduced vibration and noise
  • Clean interfaces for new construction
  • Precise control over drop zones and lifting operations

Hydrodemolition for Marine Structures

Hydrodemolition – ultra-high-pressure water jetting – removes concrete without damaging reinforcement and introduces almost no structural vibration.

Regional specialists use hydrodemolition for partial removal and concrete repair in bridges and heavy infrastructure. LinkedIn+1

In ports and harbours, Stone Beam applies hydrodemolition to:

  • Remove deteriorated concrete from quay decks while keeping the main structure in service
  • Prepare surfaces for strengthening schemes rather than full removal
  • Selectively demolish the top part of piles, cross-heads or caps without damaging hidden reinforcement

Hydrodemolition is particularly valuable when:

  • Sensitive facilities or historic structures are near the work
  • Vibration limits are very strict
  • Dust control is critical (e.g. cruise terminals, marinas, urban waterfronts)

Underwater Cutting and Pile Removal

For truly marine elements, Stone Beam works with specialist divers and underwater cutting equipment to:

  • Cut steel and concrete piles below waterline
  • Remove submerged portions of dolphins, jetties and obstructions
  • Perform seabed clean-up, ensuring the harbour is free from debris that could threaten navigation Underwater Solutions+2Amazon Web Services, Inc.+2

Cutting techniques include:

  • Underwater diamond wire sawing
  • Hydraulic shears
  • In selected cases, shaped-charge or explosive cutting executed by licensed partners (subject to strict regulation and detailed environmental/structural assessment). Amazon Web Services, Inc.+2Navigation Center+2

Monitoring of Stability, Vibration and Noise

Best-practice demolition of bridges and marine structures incorporates instrumentation and monitoring – for deflections, strains, vibrations and noise – to protect surrounding assets and people.

In port demolition, Stone Beam can install:

  • Vibration monitors on adjacent quay walls, buildings or sensitive equipment
  • Inclinometers or crack gauges on structures to remain
  • Noise meters at boundary locations
  • Turbidity sensors in water during heavy works

Alerts allow the team to pause and adjust methods if any parameter approaches its threshold.

Health, Safety & Marine Environmental Protection

Core Demolition Safety Principles

The reference materials “Engineering Demolition: So the Structure Does Not Fall on Our Heads” and similar guidance emphasise that demolition safety starts in design:

  • No demolition before completing surveys and engineering checks
  • Clear, documented sequence understood by every supervisor and operator
  • Control zones where only essential staff can enter
  • Suitable plant and properly trained operators

Stone Beam embeds these principles in every project, with additional controls for marine environments.

Working Near Water, Heights and Confined Spaces

Marine demolition combines multiple high-risk activities:

  • Working at height on quay edges, dolphins, bridges and tall structures
  • Risk of falling into water, especially when removing edge parapets and decks
  • Confined spaces in culverts, pump rooms, service galleries and tanks under quay decks

Stone Beam’s HSE procedures cover:

  • Harnesses, lifelines and collective edge protection
  • Life jackets and man-over-board rescue plans
  • Confined space entry permits, gas detection, ventilation and rescue arrangements

These follow the best practices described in demolition HSE references and adapted to Dubai’s regulatory framework.

Dust, Noise & Vibration Control in Ports

Competitive demolition companies in Dubai highlight controlled demolition as a key differentiator – minimising impact on neighbours while still delivering fast, safe work. Al Sakhar Building Demolition ABD+4Dem-Quip+4TELAL+4

For marine and port demolition, Stone Beam:

  • Uses water misting and targeted suppression to control dust from breaking and cutting
  • Prefers low-vibration tools (wire sawing, hydrodemolition) around sensitive assets
  • Plans noisy stages in off-peak hours where possible
  • Records noise and vibration levels to demonstrate compliance with project limits

Water Quality, Turbidity & Spill Prevention

Dubai’s environmental guidelines expect marine contractors to manage water quality during marine construction and demolition. dda+3Dubai Municipality+3Dubai Municipality+3

Stone Beam’s CECP-style controls include:

  • Silt curtains and turbidity barriers around heavy underwater works
  • Debris nets or booms to capture floating materials
  • Dedicated spill-response kits and trained teams to deal with fuel or oil leaks
  • Regular turbidity and water-quality monitoring during critical phases

Demolition Waste Management & Circular Economy for Ports

Typical Waste Streams in Marine Demolition

From literature on demolition and construction wastes, port and marine projects generate:

Demolition-and-Construction-Was…

  • Reinforced concrete and masonry
  • Steel from reinforcement, piles, dolphins and structural members
  • Timber from fenders, formwork and temporary works
  • Asphalt/bituminous products from quay pavements
  • Contaminated soils or concrete (from fuel spills or old coatings)

On-Site Segregation & Tracking

Stone Beam’s demolition waste management approach includes:

  • Dedicated zones for segregating concrete, steel, timber and hazardous materials
  • Labelling and tracking of waste streams, aligned with Dubai’s waste regulations Dubai Municipality+2dda+2
  • Recording volumes and destinations of each waste type for client reporting

Reuse, Recycling & Sustainable Practices

Modern guidance encourages maximising reuse and recycling of C&D waste:

Demolition-and-Construction-Was…

  • Concrete crushed and sent to licensed facilities for use in road sub-base or non-structural fills
  • Steel segregated and sold to licensed scrap recyclers
  • Clean rock armour re-used in new revetments or shore protection where specifications allow

By integrating these practices, Stone Beam helps clients meet their ESG and sustainability goals, while reducing disposal costs.

Scenario-Based Examples of Marine & Port Demolition

Scenario 1 – Rebuilding a Busy Container Berth

Client challenge:
A container terminal in Dubai needs to demolish 80 m of an old piled quay and replace it with a deeper, stronger berth. The berths on each side must remain in operation.

Stone Beam’s solution:

  1. Detailed structural survey and GPR scanning to understand pile layout, beams and deck thickness. S&B Demolition+2Marshal Demolition+2
  2. Method statement using staged removal:
    • Remove fenders, bollards, services and crane rails
    • Wire-saw longitudinal separation cuts at each end of the demolition zone
    • Cut deck and beams into segments sized for barge lifting
    • Cut piles near seabed using underwater wire saws
  3. Install silt curtains and turbidity monitoring around the work area.
  4. Maintain adjacent berths in service, using exclusion zones and daily coordination with port operations.

Result:
The berth section is cleared on time, with full documentation of waste recycling and monitoring, and without unscheduled shutdowns of the neighbouring berths.

Scenario 2 – Removing a Fuel Jetty and Dolphins

Client challenge:
A decommissioned fuel jetty with associated mooring dolphins must be removed to eliminate navigation hazards and allow a new layout.

Stone Beam’s solution:

  1. Obtain DMA marine operations permits and environmental clearances in coordination with the port and Dubai Municipality. Dubai Municipality+3Dubai Maritime Authority+3Dubai Maritime Authority+3
  2. Drain and clean any remaining product lines and tanks, treating them as hazardous waste.
  3. Mechanically demolish jetty superstructure from a barge-mounted crane and excavator.
  4. Use underwater diving teams to cut steel piles and dolphin structures below seabed level. Underwater Solutions+1
  5. Perform seabed sweep and debris clearance, verified by ROV survey.

Result:
The area is returned to a “clean seabed” condition, compliant with port and maritime regulations, ready for new infrastructure.

Scenario 3 – Partial Demolition & Strengthening of a Quay Deck

Client challenge:
An existing quay deck in an industrial port shows concrete deterioration and corrosion, but complete closure of the berth is not acceptable.

Stone Beam’s solution:

  1. Structural assessment and load-capacity checks, informed by principles used for prestressed bridge rehabilitation and demolition planning.
  1. Hydrodemolition of damaged concrete around beams and pile heads while maintaining traffic above in defined zones. LinkedIn+1
  2. Installation of new reinforcement and concrete overlay.
  3. Use of wire sawing only in targeted locations to relieve overstressed sections without causing global instability.

Result:
The berth remains partially operational throughout works, extending the service life of the structure and avoiding complete demolition.

Scenario 4 – Demolishing a Pedestrian Marine Bridge in a Marina

Client challenge:
A marina pedestrian bridge must be replaced with a modern, wider structure. Shops, restaurants and residential towers flank the canal.

Stone Beam’s solution:

  1. Install temporary access for pedestrians to avoid disrupting marina life.
  2. Implement night-shift controlled demolition with low-noise methods (wire sawing, small robotic breakers). Dem-Quip+2TELAL+2
  3. Use small barges to receive cut sections, keeping the canal navigable during the day.
  4. Strict noise and dust monitoring to meet marina management requirements.

Result:
The bridge is removed with minimal disturbance, protecting the marina’s high-value environment and reputation.

How to Plan a Marine or Port Demolition Project in Dubai

For clients, consultants and port authorities, a structured approach dramatically reduces risk.

Step 1 – Define the Scope and End State

  • Which structures must be removed or modified?
  • Are there interfaces with new construction?
  • What is the required “final condition” (clean seabed, temporary berths, partial demolition)?

Step 2 – Engage a Specialist Marine Demolition Contractor

Shortlist contractors who:

  • Are established demolition contractors in Dubai with track records on complex projects S&B Demolition+2S&B Demolition+2
  • Offer in-house engineering, not just equipment
  • Provide concrete cutting, GPR scanning, hydrodemolition and controlled demolition capabilities
  • Understand the local permitting maze (DM, DMA, port authorities, free zones)

Step 3 – Arrange Surveys & Preliminary Engineering

  • Topside and underwater structural surveys
  • Utility and GPR scanning where necessary
  • Environmental baseline surveys

From these, the contractor can propose realistic sequences, durations and budgets.

Step 4 – Permitting & Approvals

  • Submit environmental documentation (EIA/EIAR, CECP) to Dubai Municipality as required dda+3Dubai Municipality+3Dubai Municipality+3
  • Apply for DMA marine operations or near/off-shore project permits
  • Secure port/free-zone environmental NOCs and utility shutdown permits

Stone Beam supports clients by preparing technical sections of these submissions and responding to regulators’ queries.

Step 5 – Execution with Monitoring and Communication

  • Implement demolition in phases with clear milestones
  • Monitor structural behaviour, vibration, noise and water quality
  • Hold daily coordination meetings with port operations, marine traffic control and stakeholders

Step 6 – Handover and Documentation

  • As-built documentation of what was demolished and what remains
  • Waste tracking records and recycling certificates
  • Monitoring data and any post-demolition environmental verification surveys

FAQ – Marine & Port Demolition in Dubai

1. How much does marine and port demolition in Dubai cost?

Costs depend on:

  • Type and size of structures (quay walls, jetties, bridges, dolphins)
  • Access conditions (land-based, barge-based, or combined)
  • Water depth and seabed conditions
  • Permit and environmental requirements
  • Waste volumes and recycling targets

The only reliable way to price is to conduct a site visit and engineering review first.

2. Can demolition be carried out while the port or marina remains operational?

Yes – in many cases, yes.

  • Works can be phased to keep adjacent berths open.
  • Demolition can be scheduled during off-peak windows.
  • Marine exclusion zones and traffic management protect navigation. Underwater Solutions+1

Stone Beam has experience planning demolition around live operations, ensuring minimal disruption.

3. Do I need an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA/EIAR) for marine demolition?

For small, low-risk jobs, a detailed EIA may not be required. For larger or more sensitive projects, Dubai Municipality guidance requires EIA/EIAR and a Construction Environmental Control Plan (CECP), especially for marine works that affect water quality or coastal morphology. Dubai Municipality+2Dubai Municipality+2

Stone Beam can coordinate with your environmental consultant to integrate demolition methods into the EIA/CECP.

4. What permits are needed for marine demolition in Dubai?

Typical permits include:

  • Environmental Clearance / environmental permit from Dubai Municipality
  • Marine operations or near/off-shore project permit from Dubai Maritime Authority Dubai Maritime Authority+1
  • Port/free-zone environmental NOCs
  • Approvals from utility owners for any diversions or isolations

Early planning avoids delays later.

5. How does Stone Beam control turbidity and debris in the water?

Stone Beam uses:

  • Silt curtains and turbidity barriers
  • Floating booms and debris nets
  • Careful sequencing of underwater cutting
  • Regular visual and instrumental water-quality monitoring, in line with Dubai’s environmental guidelines. Dubai Municipality+2Dubai Municipality+2

6. Can any demolition contractor in Dubai handle marine projects?

Not necessarily. Many demolition companies in Dubai focus only on land-based building demolition. Stone Beam.ae+5Wakar Demolition+5Dem-Quip+5

Marine and port demolition requires:

  • Marine equipment and partners (barges, tugs, divers)
  • Understanding of DMA, port and environmental rules
  • Experience with underwater cutting and quay wall structures

Stone Beam specialises in higher-risk, engineered demolition, which is crucial for marine work.

7. How are demolition wastes from marine projects handled?

  • Concrete is broken, segregated and sent to licensed recycling or disposal facilities.
  • Steel and metals are separated for recycling.
  • Contaminated materials are treated as hazardous waste and handled through approved disposal chains.

All movements are documented to satisfy regulatory and ESG requirements.

8. Is hydrodemolition always better than mechanical breaking?

Not always. Hydrodemolition is ideal for:

  • Partial removal and repairs
  • Structures where vibration must be minimised
  • Situations where keeping reinforcement is important LinkedIn+1

For full removal of heavily damaged or simple structures with good access, mechanical demolition or wire sawing may be more economical. Stone Beam chooses method(s) based on risk, cost and programme.

9. How long does a typical quay wall demolition take?

It depends on:

  • Length and height of the wall
  • Type of wall (gravity, sheet pile, piled deck)
  • Water depth and site access
  • Environmental and operational constraints

Indicatively, 50–100 m of quay with moderate complexity may require from several weeks to a few months, but each project is unique.
