What the buyer is looking for
The water-side crane beam of the container terminal, North Sea Terminal, needs to be reinforced instead of heavier container cranes. The assignment mainly involves the realization of down-the-hole boreholes with a diameter of 120mm and the installation and anchoring of anchor rods in this. In addition, it includes limited excavation and sawing work in preparation and also limited formwork and concrete work for finishing. (size order approx. 2,400 boreholes and anchors) The order is carried out at a terminal that remains in operation during the execution. The implementation will therefore take place in smaller work zones that do not necessarily fit together spatially. The resulting operational constraints must therefore be taken into account. Place of performance: Antwerp, North Sea terminal
