The crash barrier consists of 7 segments. Two of them are designed in a bend. The constructions are made with heavy tubular girders as a possible collision load by a ship is very high. The sections are connected to each other with a large flange connection. All sections are positioned on the tubular piles by means of a wedge. After positioning, the connection is secured with grout. The horizontal girders are pre-assembled to the constructions so that the lead time of the installation on location is shortened.

Close collaboration

Vroegh-edc B.V. provided the detailed design drawings and subsequently the workshop drawings were produced. The detailed design calculations were carried out in close collaboration with PT-Structural B.V. Together with the fabrication knowledge at van der Zalm Metaalindustrie B.V., this is a nice triangular collaboration that has led to an efficient execution of the project.
