Quay wall in the Promised Land
Sheet piling for a giant project in Haifa
"We've made it!" Andreas Wieners, ThyssenKrupp
GfT Bautechnik Export Manager, is satisfied.
Together with Project Manager Marc Große-Thie, he
has made a major contribution over recent months
during the construction of a 2.1 kilometre long quay
wall for container vessels in the Israeli Carmel port
of Haifa. Obviously using sheet piling, beams and
mounting technology: a total of 20,000 tonnes of
material, all of which was provided by our company.
50,000 square metres of steel had to be fitted in
place, coated against tidal energy and welded in
accordance with structural requirements. Some of
the work was carried out at the Bremerhaven plant,
prior to shipping to the Promised Land. In the
meantime, four quay sections were finished in Haifa
from both land and water using vibration technology
and deploying two ramming units.
And the customer? Certainly no reason to be
unhappy! The job is done and the results speak for
themselves. "The quality demands made of our
system services were incredibly high. The
cooperation onsite with our customer A. Arenson
Ltd. proved to be a very close, and efficient mutual
partnership," recalls Große-Thie.
Following a special technical recommendation with
pile sections, and PZi 675/12 intermediate panels,
the customer was not only able to save 1,500
tonnes of material compared to the initial quotation,
but it was also possible to perform the ramming
more quickly.
Preliminary planning was suitably complex. "This
order required the ultimate level of project
management. Apart from the procurement and
delivery of classic material, we had to coordinate
the chain of communication between many
suppliers. Apart from manufacturing planning and
materials management for almost 5,000
logistics and financial controlling, and the
documentation", says Wieners.
ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik was able to resource
its wealth of experience. Two of the largest maritime
building sites in Europe were - and are being -
designed (as we reported). In the meantime, work
at the container terminal 4 in Bremerhaven has
been concluded and the company is currently
proceeding with a follow-up order for the MOSE
project for flood protection in Venice. �
