Ecological Marine Survey, Hydrodynamic and Shoreline Morphological Modelling for the 18-inch LPG J-10D / RSH Pipeline, Ras Shukheir
Ecological marine survey and numerical modelling supporting the rehabilitation of an LPG pipeline through hydrodynamic analysis, shoreline assessment, and biodiversity evaluation in the Gulf of Suez.
Project Scope
Mawael Environmental Consultancy, as a subcontractor to PETROSAFE, delivered specialized marine environmental studies to support the rehabilitation of the 18-inch LPG J-10D / RSH pipeline at Ras Shukheir in the Gulf of Suez. The assignment included a comprehensive ecological marine survey to characterize marine habitats, biodiversity, and environmental baseline conditions within the project area. In parallel, advanced hydrodynamic and shoreline morphological modelling was undertaken to simulate coastal processes, sediment transport, wave dynamics, and shoreline evolution, enabling assessment of interactions between the proposed infrastructure and the surrounding coastal environment. The study integrated bathymetric data, wind and wave conditions, water level measurements, and engineering information to evaluate potential environmental impacts and support environmentally responsible pipeline design, construction planning, and coastal protection measures.
