Scaldia Nears Completion
Posted on January 4th, 2010 by hector
The Port of Scaldia in Holland has built over 1700 metres of new quay. Now nearing completion, the berths are fitted out with some QCN cone fender systems including panels and virgin UHMW-PE facings, ‘Tricorn’ ETG bollards, ladders, tie rods and other special steel castings used to limit bending moments in concrete cope beam.
Everything was manufactured at the QuayQuip/Eurotech factory in China, fully inspected and certified before shipment, whilst engineers in Holland provided on site support during the installation and commissioning phases.
The contractor, Haverkort Voormolen, is delighted with the service provided which allowed installation to keep track with an ‘ahead of schedule’ construction programme. Only final dredging remains to be completed before the berths can receive the first ships.
