RAPID TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF COLACHEL PORT AT TAMILNADU
FINAL REPORT
The reclamation area will be filled up to +2.00 LAT. Then, a suitable capping layer and pavement will be used on
top of the fill level around 2.00 m thick. Land-based equipment will be used to spread and level the delivered
materials.
Bunds
In order to retain the dredging material in the reclamation area, bunds will be constructed around each of the
reclamation areas prior to start filling.
RECLAMATION BUNDS
Figure 135: Proposed reclamation bunds
The proposed work sequence is the following:
• Rubble mound will start from the landside and will provide a permanent limit for the reclamation area at the
west end.
• TSHD will be used to dredge the trench if necessary, in order to start construction of the vertical breakwater
which will help to CSD to work in adverse weather conditions within the basin.
• Permanent reclamation bunds are to be constructed as shown in the figure, parallel to the berth alignment (west
to east) and perpendicular to the shoreline at the east end.
• Dredging will be carried out at the basin and turning circle area, and material will be pumped to reclamation
area.
