Rapid repairs Long Fiking .
Location:
Veerhaven Texel (TESO), The Netherlands
Period:
August September 2024 (length: 5 weeks)
Description:
During the summer of 2024 the long trap is a floating steel scaffold next to the eastern lifting tower of the ferry port on Texel . This trap plays a crucial role in the safe mooring of TESO ferries. The work was aimed at repairing damage and strengthening the steel structure.
List of activities:
- Welding dozens of cracks in the uprights of the scaffolding
- Development and placement of temporary storage containers to keep welders and preservatives out of the water
- Performance of MT and UT studies on welding repairs and steel profiles
- Local treatment and three-layer preservation of all repair sites
