From Challenge to Achievement
From constructing a reinforced concrete tank, fully embedded in the natural ground and intended for the installation of a hydrocarbon separator, to building and installing a transformer station (connected to an existing station), and consolidating the foundation ground over an area of 60,000 sqm, the project presented numerous challenges.
The foundation improvement was carried out in depth through:
- Consolidation of the bedrock using plain concrete columns, executed by compaction and rigid cores.
- Reduction of soil settlement to ensure a stable foundation.
A Complex Project to Enhance Connectivity
The project aimed to transform a previously undeveloped area into a solid concrete port platform, featuring zones specifically designed for the handling and storage of oversized cargo, project cargo, and containers intended for outdoor storage. The works carried out included the consolidation of the foundation ground over an area of 60,000 sqm, the construction of concrete roads, sewer networks including manholes, collector chambers, pipelines, and channels for stormwater exposed to heavy traffic, as well as water supply networks and hydrants, medium and low-voltage electrical networks, foundations for 32-meter-high poles, and support structures for nearby ground such as retaining walls and bored piles. Additional works included fencing and perimeter structures, and the construction of a hydrocarbon separator within an enclosure supported by metal sheet piles.
The terminal will enable fast and uninterrupted transport of goods by rail and road to their final destinations, contributing to the integration of Constanța into major European logistics routes.
What ultimately counts in the construction business is successfully completed projects. PORR has many of these.
