Preparations have started for what will be Saba\u2019s largest infrastructural project ever: the expansion of the harbour at Fort Bay that includes the construction of a second, larger pier.<\/p>\n

A so-called sub-soil study, which entails the testing of the sea floor in the direct vicinity of the new pier, is in the planning phase, according to Saba Commissioner Bruce Zagers. This study is important for the breakwater that needs to be constructed to protect the actual pier against the swells. A specialised company needs to carry out this study due to its complexity and specifics. Government has started to look for a company that can carry out the job.<\/p>\n

After the sub-soil study, the final design will be made. Witteveen+Bos will be designing the new multi-million pier and the adjacent breakwater. The Dutch engineering company did the design of the current big pier and has the necessary experience. The big pier has withstood all hurricanes, including Irma and Maria.<\/p>\n

While in the Netherlands last week and the week before for a series of meetings, the Saba delegation, headed by Commissioner Zagers, met with Witteveen+Bos and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management I&W. \u201cWe want to get everyone on the same page and go for the best possible design,\u201d Zagers told The Daily Herald.<\/p>\n

The new pier will be bigger than the current \u201cbig\u201d pier and will replace the actual small pier which has been damaged by the hurricanes and needs urgent replacing. Temporary repairs were made to the small pier following Hurricanes Irma and Maria.<\/p>\n

The exact amount of the project is not known at this time because it is still in the planning phase, but for sure it will be the largest in Saba\u2019s history, said Zagers. The project will be financed through the Dutch Government.<\/p>\n
