The unique challenges include the fit on the curved dam layout as well as designing a structure with easy of transporting and assembling on site.<\/p>\n

As there is a considerable long down time between the lifting of the cofferdam parts, the solution was chosen to use a sliding system for skidding and a strandjack system for lifting. These systems require minimal maintenance during standby compared to wheels and winches.<\/p>\n

The provision of strandjacks and skidding system proved to be a cost effective solution.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
