New Port of Igoumenitsa
PROJECT BUDGET : U.S.$ 4 million
CLIENT : MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT, PLANNING AND PUBLIC WORKS
The project involved the construction of a 760 m long caisson quaywall equiped with 12 ramps for stern berthing of ferries and Ro-Ro vessels up to 200 m. in length. Due to the complex and adverse geotechnical conditions of the sea floor (very soft clays) special techniques were adopted (e.g. plastic drain strips, stone piles and preloading embankments) in order to accelerate settlement by inducing the clayey bottom pore pressure dissipation and thus improving altogether its bearing capacity.
The quaywalls will be constructed with reinforced concrete cellular caissons, which will be formed either in dry docks or on specially designed platforms and then floated, transported by tug boats and launched in place by controlled flooding of the caisson's cells. The project also includes land reclamation of an area of 210,000 sq.m. This area will comprise road network, parking areas, water supply and sewage networks, green areas and buildings such as passenger terminal (6,300 sq.m., port gates etc. TRITON was involved (in association with A.D.K.
