Port of Patras Project Brief Description

1
PORT OF PATRAS PROJECT The project incorporates marine and land works at the new port of Patras, Greece. The total budget is approx. 52 mil euros and the foreseen date of commission is January 2016. The marine part of the project includes the extension of the existing detached breakwater by 210 m founded at 30+ meters depth and the construction of an additional RO-RO berth of 260 m. The land part includes two accommodation buildings, one refreshment and service pavilion and a control tower. The marine works are to be founded on soft soil in the vicinity of active underwater gas craters. Therefore, extensive vibro displacement stone columns and prefabricated vertical pipe drains were utilised as well as deep embankments to achieve minimum vertical displacements for the finished structures. The superstructures of both the BW and the RO-RO berths are to be constructed with large prefabricated caissons (dims 30X11 m in plan). The caissons are efficiently constructed on a floating casting installation at the project site. The project includes all the infrastructure works around the terminal, large lorries parking yard, roads and drainage network, sanitary utilities etc.
