Six new dolphins built in record time for HAROPA-Port of Rouen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Following on from the maritime<\/a> access improvement programme, the port of Rouen \u2013 located on the strategic axis of the Seine, between Paris and Le Havre \u2013 has launched a worksite to modernise the Grand Aulnay wharf operated by Rubis Terminal, a European leader in the distribution of liquid energy products and bulk storage of liquids.<\/p>\n

As part of this project, Balineau<\/a> has been awarded the contract to construct six new mono-tubular dolphins, metal tubes anchored in the ground to allow the berthing and mooring of vessels.<\/p>\n

To do this, Balineau needed to implement exceptional pile-driving capacities. The 82-tonne, 34.5m long and 2200mm diameter tubes were driven using a pontoon crane and an IHC S250 hydraulic hammer capable of applying up to 250 kJ of energy.<\/p>\n

The work was completed on 2 August 2021, in a record time of one month, minimising the period the oil terminal was non-operational. These dolphins will increase the terminal\u2019s berthing and loading\/unloading capacities. Long-range vessels will now be able to be accommodated, including oil and chemical tankers up to 230m long with a loading capacity of around 53,500 tonnes.<\/p>\n

A new great contribution of Balineau for our references in dolphin within the brand\u00a0ForSHORE<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div>
