Container terminal

30 March 2011 - New contracts - Australia

At the Port Botany container terminal site in Sydney, Menard Bachy, a subsidiary of Soletanche Freyssinet (VINCI Construction), has just completed deep compacting works prior to installing five new berths. Undertaken on behalf of Baulderstone, these works involved both providing a space for prefabricating and storing buttresses for supporting the future quay, and creating a temporary quay for transhipping them onto the barges charged with transporting them. In total, more than 500,000 sq. metres were treated.
