A Polish company has carried out a field survey in Benghazi as part of preparations for a major project to develop the city’s Corniche, the Reconstruction Committee for Al-Sabri and Central Benghazi announced.
The committee said APA, a Polish company, conducted the field visit alongside a team of its engineers to inspect the area targeted for the waterfront development project. The visit forms part of ongoing technical studies and proposals aimed at preparing a clear planning and design framework for the scheme.
According to the committee, the visit included photography and field surveying using 360-degree imaging and 3D scanning technology. The aim is to build an accurate database that will support the project’s design, planning and implementation stages.
The team is working on a comprehensive survey of the area, covering above-ground and underground elements, as well as marine zones. The collected engineering data is expected to help shape the future development of Benghazi’s waterfront and provide the technical foundation needed for construction work.
The committee added that a specialised roads and transport team also studied the main routes linked to the project, including Ahmed Rafiq Al-Mahdawi Street and 23 July Street, as well as possible connections between them.
The study also covered side streets, traffic islands and roundabouts, with the aim of developing a modern road network in line with international standards. The plans will take into account pedestrian movement, traffic signals and road safety requirements.
The field tour also included visits to several heritage and archaeological buildings in the area. A specialised restoration team began assessing their technical condition and studying the possibility of rehabilitating them using materials and methods that preserve their historical and architectural value.
The project marks another step in Benghazi’s wider reconstruction and urban development efforts, with the Corniche expected to play an important role in improving public spaces, transport links and the city’s coastal identity.
