As a reminder, Soletanche Bachy \u2013 in a consortium with Saceem and Dredging International (Deme) and on behalf of the National Administration of Ports of Uruguay \u2013 carried out the \u201cAmpliaci\u00f3n Muelle C\u201d project as an extension of terminal C, completed by the same group between 2012 and 2015. This new design and build project includes a connecting structure between the two quays, a 180m platform, a 6,700m\u00b2 esplanade and the modifications necessary to accommodate 330m vessels. It was constructed in the same way as the previous platform: quayside on bored piles and a structure made from prefabricated elements and a slab cast in-situ.<\/p>\n

  • 1,480m\u00b2 of combiwall (connection works)<\/li>\n
  • 2,430m\u00b2 of sheet piling<\/li>\n
  • 3,559m of off-shore piles from pontoons<\/li>\n
  • 11,100m\u00b3 of concrete<\/li>\n
  • 22,503 m\u00b3 of rockfill<\/li>\n
  • 6,700m\u00b2 of esplanade<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Building on its local roots and its central resources, Soletanche Bachy put together a local team of professionals from Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Spain and France. The work assigned to the Group concerned maritime works and special offshore and onshore civil engineering works.<\/p>\n

    All the work carried out in advance with the methods department and locally with the site teams was successful and the project was delivered by the agreed deadline.<\/p>\n

    This project was carried out within the framework of the new ForSHORE brand, created by Soletanche Bachy. ForSHORE\u2019s objective is to support its clients with their construction and port infrastructure repair projects with a strong geotechnical component. The Group uses the best of its expertise to ensure maximum control of risks associated with the interaction between infrastructure and the ground.<\/p>\n
