Offshore Wind Farm Installation Terminal in Swinoujście
Completed in 2024.
BENEFIT
- Reduced quantity of aggregate required for pavement construction
- Lower costs and shorter construction time
- Increased service life of the pavement
- Reduced carbon footprint of the project
Offshore wind farm installation terminal in Świnoujście is the first of its kind in Poland. It will support storage of components used in the construction of wind farms; moreover, it will enable loading and deployment of towers using state-of-the-art jack-up vessels. The client had to design and construct haul roads and storage areas to guarantee seamless functioning of the terminal.
Design analysis encompassed a range of aspects, including determination of subgrade bearing capacity and predicted deformations. Various loads were taken into account, e.g. component storage and operation of cranes. Subgrade was variable and included interbeds of organic soils. Based on calculations, three pavement structures were proposed.
