River banks are strengthening at the Kulevi oil terminal: storms and strong currents have eroded the land for years.
At the SOCAR Kulevi Terminal oil terminal, located on the Black Sea coast of Georgia, large-scale works have begun to strengthen the beaches and protect the infrastructure from destruction.
According to the company, over the years strong river currents gradually eroded the banks and storms worsened the situation. However, no comprehensive measures have been taken to eliminate the problem in the past.
Areas along the Khovisatsky stream and the area near the bridge over the Tziva stream were particularly affected.
The constant exposure to water resulted in soil erosion, weakening of the coastal fortifications and damage to the areas near the bridge supports.
The terminal's technical, engineering and construction departments have now begun a comprehensive rehabilitation program.
The work includes strengthening the eroded banks, restoring protective structures and strengthening the most vulnerable parts of the infrastructure.
The company states that the program is already implemented and will systematically solve problems that have accumulated over the years.
The photos and videos posted show the condition of the damaged areas before work began.
Representatives of the SOCAR Kulevi terminal promise to tell you in the near future what has already been restored and what activities still need to be completed.
