Improvements in Full Swing at Skandia Harbour

22 years ago

Excavation, piling and the laying of foundations are in full swing at the eastern Skandia Harbour container yard in the Swedish Port of Goteborg . The quay and the surfaces within the quay are being reinforced while dredging increases the depth alongside 500m of 1,200m long southern quay from 12m to 14.2m in order to handle the higher capacity boxships now coming into service.

The rebuilding of the container terminal at Skandia Harbour involves new piling, lighter fill, recasting of the cathead at the edge of the quay, reinforcement of the quay with sheetpiles and the laying of a new crane rail to accommodate wider cranes.
