QuayQuip has completed work on a renewal of BP’s Rotterdam oil terminal, where fenders had to be replaced on four jetties. The systems use QCN Cone Fenders (QCN1000, QCN1150, QCN1400, QCN1600 and QCN1800) attached to panels up to 6m high. Some panels are fitted with integral access ladders in the front face, reached via walk-on platforms attached to the the top of the panel.

In late 2009, the refit began of six chambers at three large locks along the Juliana Canal, near the villages of Born, Heel and Maasbracht in the Netherlands.
The oldest lock in Born was built in 1930. The lock chamber was emptied during restoration which included replacing 200 sets of original iron rails, repairs to the concrete walls, fitting 158 new safety ladders and other remedial work. The lock reopened for shipping in December 2009.
Each lock chamber was extended to 225 metres, allowing access for vessels up to 190m long, 11.4 beam and 3.5m draft.

The Port of Scaldia in Holland has built over 1700 metres of new quay. Now nearing completion, the berths are fitted out with some QCN cone fender systems including panels and virgin UHMW-PE facings, ‘Tricorn’ ETG bollards, ladders, tie rods and other special steel castings used to limit bending moments in concrete cope beams.
Everything was manufactured at the QuayQuip/Eurotech factory in China, fully inspected and certified before shipment, whilst engineers in Holland provided on site support during the installation and commissioning phases.
The contractor, Haverkort Voormolen, is delighted with the service provided which allowed installation to keep track with an ‘ahead of schedule’ construction programme. Only final dredging remains to be completed before the berths can receive the first ships.
