The Solution
The works comprised driven steel raking & vertical steel piles to support mooring & berthing dolphins together with driven steel clutched tubular piles to form an underwater retaining wall to the rear of the new berth pocket.
Red7Marine designed & fabricated the temporary works piling gates & deployed crane barges, transport pontoons & jack up barges, together with the associated crew & supervision, in order to facilitate construction.
Following piling works the berthing & mooring dolphins were constructed from pre-cats & cast in-situ reinforced concrete & in turn these were then fitted with fender units & mooring equipment.
