Project overview

111-1126_IMG_header.jpg

Deepening of the Eems-pipeline

The 42" Eems pipeline is part of the pipeline connection between the gas cleaning and drying plant of Phillips Petroleum at Rysumer Nacken in Germany, and the natural gas pipeline network in the Netherlands. The gas is obtained from the Ekofisk gas field in the Norwegian region of the North Sea. The pipeline crosses the morphologically dynamic Eems estuary over a length of 4 km, passing both the deep shipping lane ‘Oostfriesche Gaatje’ and the shallow sand bank ‘Paap’.

Cleanup, Ketelmeer

Ketelmeer, a lake in the Netherlands with a length of some 10 kilometers and a width varying from two to three kilometers, separates the North Eastern and Southern Polders constructed during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is a major example of the problem of 'historic pollution'. Lake Ketelmeer receives the waters of the Rijn and IJssel and over a period of three or more decades, tens of millions of cubic meters of highly contaminated sediments entered Ketelmeer from hundreds of upstream locations. The bottom was covered by polluted sediments to an average depth of 50 cm. A significant proportion of this material had to be removed, or capped by the cleaner sediments of recent years, if a normal aquatic environment was to be restored.

Tunnel construction Warnow, Rostock

The Warnow Tunnel is located in Rostock, Germany, at the old mouth of the river Warnow in the Baltic Sea. In the DDR period this area grew out to be the main harbor of East-Germany. After the 'turn' (die Wende) in 1989 the port more or less died. Goods came cheaper and quicker from Rotterdam, Bremen and Hamburg by rail.

Development gas export pipeline,
Hibiscus to Point Fortin

The NCMA Development Project comprised the development of the North Coast Marine Area, which is located in the Caribbean Sea and Bay of Paria, Trinidad. The project included the installation of a 24" Gas Export Pipeline from the Hibiscus Platform to a landfall at Point Fortin. From the landfall the pipeline was routed by directional drilling and by surface laid pipeline, to a termination point in the Atlantic LNG Terminal at Point Fortin. As part of this project Boskalis was awarded the contract for the provision of landfall, directional drilling and onshore pipeline installation and testing of the 24" gas pipeline system.

Installation gas pipeline, Gelugor Mainline

The Gelugor transportation system is a 24'' gas pipeline from the Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) Prai Power Station, Mainland Peninsular Malaysia across the Strait of Pinang to the TNB Gelugor Meter Station on Pinang island. The pipeline has a length of 6.4 km and was put into use in the beginning of 2000. Boskalis Offshore has constructed the protection of the pipeline with rock material. The function of the protection differs along the chainage of the pipeline. A shipping channel is situated between the island and the peninsular. The pipeline in the shipping channel has been covered for to protect against ship anchors (drop and drag).

Fixed Link between Rosario and Victoria

The Joint Venture Boskalis International - Ballast Nedam JV was a subcontractor to the Consorcio Impregilo, Hochtief, Roggio and Techint which was awarded the construction of the fixed link between Rosario, in the province of Santa Fe and Victoria, in the province of Entre Rios. The Client in this project was the Argentine Government, and the leader of the Consorcio was Impregilo. The Consorciol executed all the civil constructions such as bridges while the JV Boskalis International – Ballast Nedam (BKI/BND) constructed, using sand only, the road embankments, connecting the several bridges.
