Ports, Harbours & Marinas

Sahili has extensive experience in the design of enclosed basins ranging from marinas to ports.  Typical studies involve an assessment of the navigability, wave tranquility, and sedimentation, and optimisation of the basin layout according to these three governing aspects.

Marina design covers:

• Marina market assessment and berth demand
• Berth mix and layout
• Numerical modelling of wave tranquility and sedimentation
• Capital and maintenance dredging requirements
• Mooring and berthing infrastructure (fenders, cleats)
• Utility demand, including potable water, electricity and lighting, and waste, and associated marina infrastructure

Services for Ports and Harbours include:

• Navigation studies (in collaboration with specialised navigation simulation consultants)
• Wave tranquility
• Berth layout optimization
• Sedimentation and dredging
