How To Temporarily Reclaim Land To Enable Boat Ramp Repairs
In Haarlem, Netherlands, there is a slipway of flat steel plates at a ship junkyard, where inland ships, barges, and tugboats have been pulled since 1952.
The ships typically weigh over 750 tons and are usually at the end of their working period.
The Challenge: Urgent Repair Of the Slipway
Over the years, “wear and tear” caused the slipway’s welds to crack, resulting in sediment pushing through.
Our NoFloods Dutch partner was contracted to create a dry work area on the part of the slipway that was underwater, so that repair could be done.
The Solution: Use of The Nofloods “Twin-Tube 125” Barrier to Create a Cofferdam
Our Dutch partner used the NoFloods “Twin-Tube 125” Barrier to create a “cofferdam”, enabling the repair of the slipway to be much more effective (they created a dry work area by pumping out water in the inside.).
The client then easily welded new plates and injected cement with high power/force on the slipway.
The Result
The entire project was promptly completed to the satisfaction of the client.
Watch the video below to see how our Dutch partner was easily able to create a cofferdam, thus aiding in the much-needed repair of the slipway.
