1) Ministry of Roads and Transportation

1. 1) Deputy for Construction & Development of Ports and Airports: 

• Study, Design & Construction Supervision of the project to repair, upgrade and raise the existing piers at the Anzali Port (the oldest Iranian Commercial Port at the Caspian Sea), also to counteract the effects of rising sea-level at the Caspian Sea.

• Study, Design & Construction Supervision of new Quays for new Phase of Developments at the Anzali Port, continuously over the last decade to meet new demands for new terminals due to the increased volume of trade with the CIS countries.       

• Study, Masterplan Preparations, Design & Construction Supervision of all new Developments & Land and Sea-based Facilities for the Lengeh Port, continuously over the last decade. Facilities included new dredged basin, quay-wall, groins, detached breakwater (the first ever and only such structure in Iran), terminal and administration buildings, utilities and so on.

• Study, Design & Construction Supervision for all Rehabilitation and Development projects related to the Gaz Port at the Caspian Sea. All land and sea-based facilities for this local port (selected by the government as the first port in Iran as capable of combining tourism with other functionalities).

• Study, Masterplan preparations, Design & Construction Supervision of all facilities for the new port Complex of Amirabad, continuously in the last two decades, to serve as Iran's most modern port and its main hub with highest throughput at the Caspian Sea, to create containerized, liquid, bulk, break-bulk and other cargo handling capacity envisaged necessary for Iran in the NOSTRAC trade corridor. Facilities include rail-ferry pier (the first ever and only such structure in Iran to enable the berthing of 'Parom' ex-Soviet rail-ferries), petroleum exporting piers, container, bulk, and break-bulk terminals, bunkering, rail-roads, all port buildings and utility.

• Study and Design of means of Linking the Hormoz Island with the Mainland.

• Harbour Tranquility and Harbour Resonance Numerical Modeling based on Boussinesq-type and Nonlinear Mild-Slope routines in the Mike 21, ACES and other packages, as well as the Design of the required Breakwater extensions for the Anzali port, using Satellite Altimetry wave and wind data, Hindcast computations, in-situ Buoy Measurements and Ship Observations and other data.

• Specialized Groundwater modeling using Plaxis and Geoslope finite-element software and the Design of the Industrial Interceptor Drainage system to eradicate sand-piping from underneath impervious pipe-type sheet-pile (Soldier-pile) berthing structures, taking into account strong subsurface flows, heavy rainfall and the variable sea-level at the Caspian.

 

1.2) Ports and Shipping Organization (PSO):

• Design Review and Construction Supervision for the New Turn-Key Port Complex (a.k.a. Shaheed Rejaee) Project in Bandar-Abbas ( In Association with NEDECO and Iran-NEDECO), the biggest port development project ever in Iran, in the 1970s to 1980s.

• Study, Design and Construction Supervision of port facilities in the Shaheed Kalantari Port in the Chabahar Bay, beside the Shaheed Beheshti Port. This project included the complete design of the land and sea facilities for the container terminal as well as the type of container handling system and equipment.

• Study, Masterplans preparation, Design, Estimation, Tender Document Preparations, Tender Evaluations, and Construction Supervision of all facilities for the new Port Complex of Chabahar (a.k.a. Shaheed Beheshti). Facilities included the first dynamically-stable berm type breakwater in Iran, suspended deck piers, port buildings, dredged basin, dikes, utilities (Power, Water, Sewerage, Telephones, Ship–to–Shore communications and so-forth). Although, detailed design drawings for some cases have often been ready and approved for quite some time, however, due to severe budget constraints and uncertainty over whether PSO or 3MC (as described in 1.3 below) will take over the continuation of the works, the construction has been fairly slow in the last few years because of such non-technical aspects.

• Study, Masterplan preparation and Design of 14 Minor Ports Along the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea (In co-operation with NEDECO and Iran–NEDECO).

• Study and Masterplan preparation and Design of the three Main Fishing Ports (Arvandkenar, Jask and Konarak) in the south of Iran.

• Feasibility Studies for the creation of Free–Trade Zones in the Bandar-Abbas Area (In co-operation with NEDECO).

• Preparation and Compilation of the Sea-Walls Chapter of the National Iranian Maritime Code using past local experiences, as well as major international design codes such as BS, TSCJ of Japan, Euro-code and so-on (Sub-contracted from PSO from its contract regarding the topic of Coastal Protection with the Deputy for Research, Education and Standards). Review of the Coastal Protection chapter including both hard and soft means of Coastal Protection.

• Study, Design and Supervision of the Sea-wall for the western side of the Amirabad Port.

 

1.3) Three Members Committee (3MC) for Construction & Development of Ports in Chabahar Area:

• Continuation of Studies, Designs and Construction Supervision for the Chabahar (Shaheed Beheshti) Port Complex, as at some point, due to new governmental regulations coming into place, 3MC took over from PSO as the new Client.

• Design Review & Construction Supervision of the Chabahar Rapid Installation Piers.

• Study, Design and Construction Supervision of Chabahar Naval Base (Iran – Bandar Port). In addition to specialized structural aspects for the various berths and breakwaters, the works included comprehensive environmental modeling, and in particular wave and wind climate, as well as sediment transport and morphology modeling.

• Study, Masterplan preparation, Design & Construction Supervision of Konarak Industrial Fishing Port as one of the main fishing ports in the country, located at the Chabahar Bay. A Gravity type quay-wall was constructed as well as a 3 kilometers long breakwater, port buildings, a fueling jetty and all the standard utilities for a major fishing port. Extensive Morphological (Such as One-Line and n-Line Shoreline Evolution models etc.) & Siltation modeling of Konarak Port, including a monitoring plan and sediment sampling, were undertaken due to longshore sediments entering the so-called Chabahar Bay sink along their westward path along the Oman Sea.

1.4) Deputy for Research, Education & Standards:

• Preparation and Compilation of the Port-Planning Chapter of the National Iranian Maritime Code using past local experiences, as well as major international design codes such as BS, TSCJ of Japan, Euro-code and so-on.

1.5) Deputy for Construction & Development of Roads:

• Study, Basic & Detailed Designs for the Sheef Bridge, to link the Sheef Island in the Bushehr Province with the mainland.
