MAURITANIAN IRON ORE JETTY

Mauritania, Africa

During a five-year project, DUC Marinegroup performed maintenance to an iron ore jetty in Mauritania, Africa.

The jetty was protected by anodes that had to be checked. As anodes decay in the course of time, regular maintenance and repair is necessary.

DUC Marinegroup has its own equipment to carry this out, including C.P. meters and wall thickness meters for use under water. Anodes that did not function correctly were replaced or additional anodes were installed.

INSPECT, TEST AND IF REQUIRED REPLACE ANODES

Port of Rotterdam and Amsterdam, The Netherlands

In the Port of Rotterdam and Amsterdam, DUC Marine Group regularly checks anodes and replaces them if necessary. Not only in the Netherlands we inspect and replace anodes but all over the world. Regular exchanging of anodes are performed in United Kingdom, Africa and Europe.

M.E.T. Pile Encapsulation

Port of Rotterdam, The Netherlands

At the Maatschap Europoort Terminal (M.E.T.) in the 7th Petroleum harbour of Rotterdam, DUC Marinegroup together with Henskens B.V. cleaned the piles on which the sea mooring is built and preserved them both above and below the waterline.

This was done using a company-developed robot jet. This robot is first suspended and then used to clean the piles (using a water jet) both above and below the waterline. A polyester jacket is then wrapped around the pile and sealed. From below, this jacket is flushed out and then injected with two-component epoxy resin.

VOPAK PILE ENCAPSULATION

Port of Rotterdam, Nederland

At Vopak in the port of Rotterdam, DUC Marinegroup blasted and preserved steel piles in a five-year project by high-pressure water cleaning and installing polyester shells to then inject them with a 2-component epoxy resin so that the shell is glued to the pole. ” is going to be.

This gives the steel pole a kind of paint coating of approx. 1 cm thick. This will stop the pole from rusting on the wind water line.
