In tandem at berth No. 7

30 April 2011 - New contracts - United States of America

Built in 2010, the 280 m-long berth No. 7 in the port of Freeport (Texas), has never been used because of excessive movement observed in the structure as of the dredging phases. Nicholson, a subsidiary of Soletanche Freyssinet (VINCI Construction), has been charged with consolidation works, involving the installation of additional tie rods. SolData, the Soletanche Freyssinet subsidiary specialising in instrumentation, will, in addition, be monitoring the structure during the works, and over the following six months.
The works, to take 6 months, began in January 2011.
