Bam International Abu-Dhabi operates for clients worldwide covering all branches of civil engineering. Bam is recognized as having wide-ranging expertise in the maritime engineering field. Our work is embedded in the construction industry. This has created the ability to blend innovation with best practice in design and to provide practical solutions to fulfil stakeholder requirements.
Get StartedBam utilizes the latest professional engineering software packages. In addition we develop our own purpose-built software for in-house design and engineering applications.
Through frequent liaison with local firms in overseas projects, consistent working relationships with companies in various countries around the world have been built up.
Infrastructure is never finished. In a rapidly changing world Bam International formulate answers to complex infrastructure issues
The city bridge Nijmegen is a new bridge across the river Waal, built to improve the accessibility of the city and to improve traffic flow around the wider city area. The bridge was built at a historical location known as “De Oversteek” (“The Crossing”), where American soldiers crossed the river to secure the existing Waal bridge during the operation Market Garden.
The Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources commissioned the construction of a new fishery port at the south-eastern coast of Sri Lanka, about 6 km north of Colombo Port. The new Dikkowita Fishery Port serves as an operation base for local fishermen and provides sheltered berthing for approximately 500 fishing vessels, up to 40m in length and is one of South East Asia’s largest fishery harbours.
Fortescue Metals Group awarded the BAM the design and construction contract for a fifth iron ore loading berth at its Anderson Point Facility (AP5) in Port Hedland, Western Australia. The works included the design and construction of a 306-metre long wharf extension, seven berthing dolphins, and the supply and installation of wharf conveyor modules, with the existing berths remaining fully operational.
The QAFCO Fertiliser Company plans to extent its facilities on the east coast of Qatar. BAM carried out the detailed design of the cooling water system required for the expansion. The design included a jetty, an intake- and outfall structure as well as a pump station and weir structure. In addition special measures for scour protection have been designed for the intake and outfall structure.
First there is the pile design. Bam International can design and advise on the required pile type and length. Secondly the pile needs to be driven. Bam International can advise on the optimum driving hammer for the job. Pile driveability analysis is carried out based on the pile and soil data. Thirdly, when the pile is installed, predicted driving performance and pile capacity needs to be verified. Delta Marine Consultants offers PDA and DLT to monitor driving and evaluate pile capacity.
PDA and DLT testing is carried out using 2 sensors, measuring strain and acceleration, bolted to the pile.
PDA testing can performed on prefab concrete piles and steel piles.
DLT testing can be performed on prefab concrete piles, steel piles, cast-in-situ concrete piles and wooden piles.
In order to best meet our Clients’ needs the company is organised as a project organisation with several civil and marine structural engineering teams each with a focus on certain Client-Market-Product combinations.
Coastal engineering, is one of the core expertise areas of Bam International Abu-Dhabi. The interaction between land and water creates complex environments. Coastal areas and river banks have always been important to trade and are therefore vital links in the economic chain.
Our coastal teams has extensive experience in design of coastal structures and reclamations. Expert skills include for example:
Geotechnical Engineering is a fundamental part of Bam International Abu-Dhabi design process. It is the application of soil and rock mechanics to the design of structures on or in the ground. It is a broad discipline consisting of several area’s including site characterisation, parameter evaluation, the eventual geotechnical design, geohydrology and the site engineering. Soil and rock are highly complex and variable materials.
The expertise of the Delta Marine Consultants Geotechnical Engineers includes:
The Virtual Design & Drafting department provides all visual information about the design process. Drawings and visualisations are essential for the construction process to communicate about the design to all stakeholders in the design and construction.
We use BIM in the tender and construction phase. This practice leads to:
Our civil and marine structural teams have extensive experience in design of structures for civil infrastructure, ports and harbours, and specialist industrial projects
Through frequent liaison with local firms in overseas projects, consistent working relationships with companies in various countries around the world have been built up.
