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.

“Falmouth Divers Ltd contracted Red7Marine at the end of 2019 to undertake the installation of two rock-socketed piles at the Jupiter Point Royal Naval training facility near Torpoint. Red7Marine mobilised its SeaSeven jack-up vessel from Liverpool and transited it to Plymouth in early January through a gap in the seasonally bad weather. The mobilisation was conducted efficiently within a week as planned.”
