The French Port of Le Havre has opened a tender for reinforcement works on the Joannes quay covered as part of the reception of offshore wind power.
The port plans to build a heavy load dock with one bass mat at the foot of the dock. The purpose of the consultation is to carry out two quay developments of 200m, including execution studies at the level of the Joannes covered quay.
The structure to be produced for the installation platform spans the existing platform structure. Lines of large diameter bored piles and one support will be made on and behind the existing quay.
The platform will be topped with approximately 1.5m of embankment, allowing in particular the passage of networks and the dissemination of operating costs, the tender writes.
Finally, a crowning beam and a reinforced concrete docking mask at the edge of the quay will complete the structure across the entire shelf.
Demolition work on old maritime structures will be carried out in one basin subject to the tide. Dredging works up to a rating of (-18.0 CMH) are to be conducted with sea dumping and/or recovery.
The duration of the contract is two years. The deadline for submitting applications for the tender is 30 January 2020 by 5:00 p.m. local time.
