Our Pile Hammer in Egypt

Project Location: Abu Qir Port, Egypt

Project Type: Combined Retaining Wall

We are honored to support China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) in the construction of the Abu Qir Container Terminal, the largest deep-water container port in Egypt. This terminal is located on the Mediterranean coast near Alexandria.

Project Innovation:

The terminal features an advanced “combined retaining wall” structure — a single-anchored sheet pile wall design that integrates the strengths of both high-pile and sheet pile wharf systems. The structure enhances stability by combining a T-shaped pile foundation with a continuous wall.

Key Parameters:

Steel Pipe Piles: 507 units (Ø800 mm and Ø1200 mm)

Sheet Piles: 2,707 units (Arcelor AZ-type combined wall system)

Total Wall Length: 1,270.6 meters

Customized Piling Solution:

After analyzing the geotechnical report using PDI pile driving simulation software, we proposed an optimized dual-hammer approach:

MZ300L high-capacity vibratory hammer – used for precise positioning and penetration through the first 10 meters of softer soil layers.

MC30 hydraulic impact hammer – employed to penetrate the final 10 meters of denser strata, ensuring full embedment.

This hybrid solution maximized efficiency while effectively handling complex geological conditions.

For port, breakwater, or retaining wall projects, we provide data-driven piling hammer solutions—minimizing risk to the greatest extent.
