The maritime structures that port operators and asset managers value the most are all under high exposure to physical, biological and chemical attack.

Installations like quay walls, jetties, RoRo berths, marinas, sea walls and breakwaters exist in a destructive environment that does not encourage long term survival.

But a successful port management process can extend the working life of structures by many decades.

Royal Haskoning, through Posford Haskoning Ltd. and Haskoning Nederland B.V., can help you prolong the life of your installations. Bringing damaged, corroded and weathered marine structures back to full working order is a specialist business.

Our engineers and project managers know this – we have been doing it for years, building up unrivalled experience all over the world. By commissioning Royal Haskoning to inspect and test your marine structures, you can achieve long term savings, yet keep down time to a minimum.

Options for remedial and upgrade works can be identified and costed, while maintenance and repair programmes can be established.

• Condition surveys including the inspection and testing of damaged and deteriorated structures, above and below water.

• Ship collision and storm damage reports including liaison with loss adjusters following accidental damage.

• Corrosion protection schemes and the assessment of structures displaying symptoms of accelerated low water corrosion.

• Whole life analysis including maintenance and repair schemes.

• Identification, design and costing of repair options for superstructures and substructures to ensure durability and overall stability.

• Contract documentation including design and construct solutions.

• Site supervision of contractors for initial testing, and later to implement works involving techniques such as guniting, pile jackets, grouting, limpet dams, temporary jacking, ground anchoring, underwater working, cathodic protection and protective coatings.

• We look forward to bringing our expertise to your structures and ensuring that cost effective, appropriate technology is used for their repair and upkeep.
