The Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah Causeway Project (main link) is a 36km causeway crossing Kuwait Bay between Kuwait City and the Subiyah area. The causeway consists of low-level bridges, embankments and transition islands. A cable-stayed bridge spans the navigation channel and a free-flow interchange at the Shuwaikh Port connects the causeway to the main road network at Kuwait City.

We supported and advised Hyundai on the design and construction of the bridge and of the temporary works used during its construction. Our work included design of the cofferdams in the sea supported off the piles for the pile cap construction; temporary facilities for the lifting and placing of the precast concrete pile cap shells; temporary supports in the sea for bridge deck erection; full shipping impact assessment and derivation of ship impact loading to be applied to the permanent works and temporary works in the sea.
