Abstract

Very often (old) existing harbour structures have to be renovated and stabilised because of several reasons, such as: deepening works for modern shipping capacity increase of the quay repairs instead of rebuilding harbour area restrictions This paper will highlight the international experience (design and construct) in quay wall restoration and stabilisation works, using: 1 . Marine drilling and foundation techniques (Hydro Soil Services): ground anchors VHP grouting drain structures 2. Innovative bottom protection methods (Bitumar): prefabricated and immersed fibrous open stone asphalt
