Kajian Hidraulik Di Sekitar Perairan Pelabuhan Utara, Pelabuhan Klang, Selangor, MALAYSIA

The North Approach Channel and the Fairway fronting the North Port wharves have been identified for channel deepening. In view of the intended dredging, a comprehensive hydraulic study to evaluate the proposed work was performed.

The major components of the scope of work can be summarised as:

• Collect and collate data for the modelling study;
• Carry out hydraulic modelling for analysis of currents, waves and sediment transport;
• Identify sources of siltation material, predict volume and rate of siltation within and around the channel due to deepening;
• Analyse and propose requirements for capital and maintenance dredging as well as devising an optimum dredging strategy for the future;
• Study on the hydrodynamic impact to the port’s future development plans;
• Perform a financial analysis; and
• Propose remedial measures
