Hoogovens Ijmulden - BuKa 2

The location of this job was at an open seaside with 2,2m tide difference. The job only required a protection down to -0,30m below the low water level.

The actual execution of the job was difficult, due to first experience in working underneath the quay.

Acotec allowed ships to continue with loading on this quay, while being rehabilitated.

An important remark on this jobsite was that the piles were protected with cathodic protection, under impressed current.
