Deepening of the seabed for the construction of the LNG terminal on the island of Krk

Near Omišalj on the island of Krk, where the construction of a pier for liquefied gas is planned, hydrographic measurements revealed three shoals at depths of 13.5 and 13.6 metres. For the safety of navigation, the seabed had to be deeper than 15.4 m. The geological fabric of the seabed was determin...

description Near Omišalj on the island of Krk, where the construction of a pier for liquefied gas is planned, hydrographic measurements revealed three shoals at depths of 13.5 and 13.6 metres. For the safety of navigation, the seabed had to be deeper than 15.4 m. The geological fabric of the seabed was determined using a hydroacoustic survey and remote operating vehicle. Shallows are formed in a solid carbonate rock mass. Special technology of excavation without blasting was applied. 11,000 m3 of rock mass was excavated which was deposited nearby. The seabed habitat with an area of about 12,500 m2 was changed.
