In spring 2016 the Joint Venture Bilfinger Marine &
Offshore Systems (today F+Z Baugesellschaft) /
TAGU and Nordsee received an order from NPorts
GmbH & Co.KG for the expansion of Berth 4 „Europa
Kai“ inclusive a ramp.. The decision was taken because
of a competitive variant solution with an optimized quay
wall and a shortened edge dam.
The quay wall with a length of about 250m is divided into
8 blocks and consists of a combined sheet pile wall
(system width a=3,08 m), which is back-anchored by
inclined HTM-piles. A deep laying concrete slab was
designed to protect the sheet wall from high loads. It has
a constant thickness of 90 cm and is founded on in-situ
piles with a diameter of Ø 61 cm.
