Port of Roenne expansion reaches major milestone
The Port of Roenne’s expansion programme has reached a key milestone with the completion of sand filling and construction of protection under the pavement.
Stage 3 of the future-proofing project will see the creation of more than 100,000m² of larger project area at the Danish port, among other things by partially filling the former fishing basin, where there is minimal activity today.
The last load of sand has been delivered by the hopper dredger Ostend, adding a total of 400,000m³ of sand to the area.
This creates a solid foundation for the continued development of the port infrastructure, said construction company, MT Højgaard, which is leading on the work.
As well as the sand filling, a new RoRo ramp and a 280m long quay will be established in the south end of the port.
“We are in full swing with the concrete work on quay 36 and the RoRo ramp,” said Dan Harborg Locht, project director at MT Højgaard.
“The structures we are making now are crucial to ensure that the port can handle the increased traffic and the larger ships that the expanded port will be able to receive.”
