The detailed design documentation and construction technology prepared jointly with Sochimorstroy LLC enabled the construction of the berths to be completed within the shortest possible time.
Container Terminal berths 3-4 at Ust-Luga are designed as a sheetpile bulkhead wall comprising 1.22 m pipes driven at 1.5 m spacing.
Pipe spacing and diameter was calculated based on the construction of the soil impermeable sheet pile wall.
Berth length - 440 m.
Berth depth - 13.5 m.
Crane gauge - 30.0 m.
The construction method of pipes in combination with a soil-impermeable wall works well in heavy soil conditions, is easy to fabricate, and allows reduction in costs and construction time.
The use of land-based equipment during berth construction meant that no time was lost to poor weather conditions.
