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