New port area

This project involved the construction of the breakwater and the jetty that make up the new port area on the Mediterranean side.

The project included the construction of a 606.8-m long enclosure dike between Punta de los Aguilones and the Escombreras islet that surrounds it, a 580.6-m long perimeter dike and a jetty parallel to the existing Bastarreche dike, thus creating a 70 hectare sheltered water surface area.

The south dike has a total length of 606.80 m, with a first section of 202.50 m formed by a sloping wall and a second section of 404.30 m made up of reinforced concrete caissons.

The perimeter dike is made up of reinforced concrete caissons with a total length of 580.60 m.

The southwest dike is made up of reinforced concrete caissons 29 m high, 1,036 m long and with a draft depth ranging between 22 and 50 m.
