Projects

China

Chek Lap Kok Airport

The airport covers 12.48km² of reclaimed land between the two islands of Chek Lap Kok and Lam Chau. The airport opened for business in July 1998, having taken just six years to build. Top dredging companies from Netherlands and Belgium of which majority are our clients were largely involved in this project.

Kazakhstan

Karachaganak Main Works

This mega project located in the far western sector of Kazakhstan, a few kilometers from the Russian border, is not only significant for its remote location, size and complexity but is marked by the severe continental climate with sharp seasonal changes, plummeting temperatures of -40°C and summer at +40°C. Scope of work performed were the following:

• Oil & Gas Pipelaying
• Field Development
• Oil and Gas Drilling
• Investment Facilities Construction and Expansion Project
• Platform jackets fabrication/ installations

Turkey

Blue Stream

Gas transport system consisting of twin 24” diameter pipelines long about 380 km each crossing the Black Sea from Russia to Turkey, at a maximum water depth in excess of 2,150 m.

Considered the most challenging deep water pipeline ever completed for the combination of water depth and diameter. Very difficult seabed conditions on both Turkish and Russian sides, unfavourable weather conditions made the project a milestone in the entire industry.

Libya

Libya services

In Libya, our Client were involved in the operation and maintenance services of the Sabratha Platform; DP4 Rig Removal Project for AGIP Oil Company, and the Bahr Essalam Subsea Production System.

Sabratha Platform is located 110 km from Libyan coast in Bahr Essalam offshore field. The platform, considered to be one of the biggest Libyan Offshore Oil and Gas facilities, fixed to the sea bed in a water depth of 190 meters.

Egypt

Suez Canal

The project involved the construction of the new Canal from km 60 to km 95, in addition to  the deepening the existing western by-passes of 37 km total length to a depth of 24m (66ft draught); and digging of 35km of a new parallel waterway, to a depth of 24m, and a width of 317m at water level, enabled the new channel accommodate vessels with up to 66 ft. draught. It also doubled the longest possible parts of the waterway to facilitate traffic in the two directions and minimize the waiting time for transiting ships.

The Netherlands

Blankenburg Connection

The Project comprises construction of a 4.2km greenfield road project, including a immersed tunnel (900m length) and a land tunnel (500m length) linking the existing A15 and A20 roads west of Rotterdam. Once completed, the Blankenburg Connection will offer motorists an alternative to 'crossing' the Scheur/Nieuwe Waterweg.

Taiwan

Yunlin Wind Farm

What made this project special was the involvement of our three major Clients in performing the work. Each display its own expertise and capabilities, without competing to the other. The biggest was involved in the mobilization of ships from its own Heavy Lift Vessels (HLVs) fleet; the second was engaged in subcontracting deck carriers and HLVs from third parties to transporting monopiles and transition pieces from yards in the Netherlands and Germany; and the 3rd is engaged in dredging and installation work.

United Kingdom

Gaoith Offshore Wind Farm

Neart Na Gaoithe is an offshore wind farm under construction in the outer Firth of Forth, 30 kilometres (19 mi) north of Torness. It has a potential capacity of 450 MW. Offshore work began in 2020, with completion originally planned for 2023 but delayed due to supply chain challenges until 2024.

Egypt

Abu Qir port

This prestigious Abu Qir port project is so far the largest ever dredging and land reclamation contract in our Client’s history. It includes the reclamation work of 1,000 hectares of new land, the deepening of the port’s approach channel to 23 m and the dredging of a turning basin to 22 m. An enormous volume of more than 150 million m³ has been dredged so far.
