At a glance
- Location: Brighton
- Plant used: Haven Seariser 2 jack up barge
- What we did: Red7Marine supported the piling operations during the installation of a sheet pile twin wall cofferdam.
The Challenge
The client at Brighton Marina needed to install a sheet pile twin wall cofferdam to close off a section of the marina to enable construction of foundations for a large apartment block.
The Solution
Red7Marine provided stability calculations for the Haven Seariser 2, a 250t jack up barge, to accommodate a 120t crawler crane and the connection of piling gates to the jack up barge, enabling the installation of the sheet piling and tie rod system.
Technical support
Early involvement with the client’s project team meant that Red7Marine was able to provide leg penetration and stability information in order to deliver the piling element of the project.
Partnering approach
The barge used for the Brighton Marina project has been in continual operation on a number of projects for the same client for the last four years. In fact the layout of the barge was developed in accordance to the clients needs.
Operational delivery
The Red7Marine operations team worked hand in hand with the client site team to deliver another safe and successful project.
