“Zagrebačka obala“  is Croatian government strategic project worth 300 million euros, which is provoking the attention and interest of both experts and  the general public. Furthermore, the media is continuously informing the publicity about its progress.

The project includes the construction of a quay in three phases. Presently, the construction works of 400m long quay are in progress. Underwater piloting works and building in total of 4201 gravel pilots were completed in June, 2015.

A 4000 ton reinforced concrete caissons are currently being manufactured on a construction site (their function is to form a quay platform). Caissons are founded in underwater stone embankment.
