Discharge water pipe project in the Port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Project Background

The port of Rotterdam is in constant development. Soon a new deep-sea container terminal will open in the port section called Amaliahaven. Around this terminal a lot of infrastructural changes are taking place. To maintain the area safe and clear of excess rain water a new discharge water pipe needs to be placed.

Pipeline Route 

The discharge water pipe connects excisting drainage sewer systems to the water in the harbour. Crossing the Amoerweg street in between.

Our Activities

We provided extensive engineering and consultancy services, including:

• Strength calculations for structural integrity during construction and operation 
• Arranging construction permit including construction plan for constructor
• Risk assessment of drilling technique
• Soil assessments for the installation phase and long-term performance 
• Advice and consultation on construction methods and related pipeline engineering topics

Credits: During this project we have worked closely together with:

• Constructor Fugro

And UPA-group partners:

• Grond Ingenieurs
• Rotterdam Engineering.
