Pier and Port Construction

In pier and port construction, it is very important to take measures related to occupational health and safety before any pier is installed. Apart from these precautions, all measures that can be taken to prevent work accidents should also be taken.

So, how are piers installed? Step by step pier installation;

  1. First, it is checked and inspected whether the pier to be installed has a TSE certificate and deserves to be put into use.
  2. After the inspections, the stability of the ground is checked. If the ground is fill or soil, improvements are made in the area.
  3. After the improvements, the static calculations of the pier to be built are made.

The people who will install the pier must have a level 3 certificate in pier installation, and piers should be installed by people who have gained competence in this field. After the pier installation, the pier should be checked by civil engineers and accepted in this way. Piers are used in all areas, including ports.

What are Port Structures?

In pier and port construction, port structures generally consist of inner port or outer port structures.

So, what are the duties of outer port structures?

  • The main duty of outer port structures is to protect the port environment against the frightening and abrasive factors of the open sea.
  • To prevent beach sands from approaching the port environment and even the port itself.
  • To protect the port against any physical factor and secure the entries and exits to be made at the port boundaries.

So, what are the duties of inner port structures?

  • Inner port structures; located behind the berthing places of ships, unloading and transportation; they can also be listed as cranes, warehouses, storage, passenger lounges, and storage areas.
  • Remember, it is very important to plan these mentioned inner port structures properly.

The designs of ship berthing places in ports are determined in light of different situations, from the purpose for which the port where the berthing places will be built will be used, to the depth of the quay where it is located.

Static Calculations of Ports

In pier and port construction, the structural designs and static calculations of ports must be done by experts. Extra care must be taken while doing these studies. Even the smallest mistake overlooked during static calculations can grow like an avalanche and lead to negative results that none of you would want.

Pier and Port Construction

Pier and port construction has gained importance today with the increase in logistics and transportation opportunities. Marine structures are shaped according to usage preferences. Piers and ports are needed for loading purposes on piers and ports for logistics and transportation and for cargo ships to berth easily. Accordingly, pier and port construction constitutes an important part of marine projects. As a company, we have the experience and equipped equipment to design piers and ports of any desired size and width on any type of marine ground. After the completion of pier and port projects, the superstructures of marine structures are created. Many marine and port projects that we have completed with pile driving and superstructure construction are offered to our customers with their quality and durable features.

Pier and Port Construction Projects

Pier and port construction projects are among the most important marine structures affecting the economic relations of countries and companies engaged in trade within the scope of transportation. Maritime transportation is one of the most profitable and frequently preferred transportation systems among transportation systems worldwide in terms of transportation volume and cost ratio. With the development of ports and piers in the historical process, they have become a part of international trade and transportation systems. Over time, with the diversification of cargo amounts and voyages, new ship designs have emerged. The acceleration of technological developments and the aging of ports over time have necessitated innovative designs. At this point, as a company, we make pier and port designs compatible with the modern era.

Piled Pier Construction

Marine piers are one of the most important structures in coastal regions. They serve purposes such as restaurants, sunbathing, boat berthing areas, and water sports. Piled pier construction also facilitates swimming and sunbathing activities by increasing the value of beaches in coastal areas. In this sense, it can be stated that it has great importance.

Our company brings a wide range of machinery to you thanks to the floating pile driving machine it houses. If you want to get professional support in your piled pier construction processes, we are one of the fast solution points at affordable costs. By driving steel pipes of appropriate sizes into the seabed, the vertical carriers in the pier system are placed. On the upper floor of the pier, these steel pipes are connected with profiles to increase horizontal stability. Thus, the carrier on which the pier covering will be placed is also created. Additionally, projection processes can be done as requested in piled pier construction. If you wish, it can be made of PVC, wood, or applied in a composite form as per demand.

What are the Details of Piled Pier Construction?

Piled pier construction, carried out with permission from the T.R. Ministry of Public Works and Settlement General Directorate of Technical Research and Application, involves a number of elements as a result. Since the necessary permits are given according to the procedures to be carried out in the area, we wanted to share these details with you. First of all, within this scope, the relevant institution requires that;

  • The coast to be created should not prevent the use of public areas
  • It should be a maximum of 20 meters long and 5 meters wide along the coastline
  • There should be no sandy areas or bushes on the coast
  • There should be no rocky area and the water should not be an area that suddenly deepens.

Unless the provisions, including many details along with these issues, are met, the necessary permit conditions are not provided. However, before piled pier construction, each of these steps must be provided.

For What Purpose is Piled Pier Construction Done?

Navigation safety and marine safety are important in piled pier construction. The area where the operation will be carried out must not constitute an obstacle in the areas of benefiting from the sea. Piled pier construction, carried out considering its impact on the environment, can be done without making a 1/1,000 scale implementation zoning plan. The purpose of pier construction should only be to serve purposes such as entering the sea, sunbathing, or water sports.
