 The actual dredging of underground tunnels at the Suez Canal will start in early June 2016 and to be completed in 18 months, Chairman of the Armed Forces Engineering Authority Kamel el Wazzir said.
While inspecting the project site, Wazzir said a large dredger has already been installed at the location and final technical preparations are being completed. The authority has been assigned with carrying out 1,600 projects, including 200 mega national ones, by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi since he assumed power, Wazzir said, adding that 50% of the projects have been completed. Among the most important national projects is the Suez Canal underground tunnels, he said, adding that the used dredger is German-made and was brought from one of the largest international German companies. The dredger was exclusively manufactured for the Egyptian tunnels with special specifications and diameters (inner diameter 11.4 meters and external 12.6 meters). At present, 94 welders are working at the site but 94 more are needed, he said, calling on Egyptian youths to apply for the job even those who have no previous experience as they will be trained beforehand. Four giant dredgers will dig four large tunnels under the Suez Canal at the same time, he added. |
