Pipeshield have for the last few weeks been working alongside our client BAM International on a major construction project in Dubai.

Contracted to DP Ports, BAM International are currently constructing over 2,240 metres of quay wall, 2,240 metres of land side crane beam to accommodate 100-tonne STS cranes as well as a 440-metres long access bridge and a 2.6-kilometres causeway to link the new Terminal 4 being built on an island of reclaimed land to the main port in Jebel Ali, Dubai. Included in the contract is the installation of all quay furniture, the land reclamation to create the 17 hectares of yard and access road.

As part of this project Pipeshield have been contracted to manufacture over 350 concrete mattresses on site. At the point of going to press the project is ongoing. The mattresses will be used to stabilise and protect the harbour wall and further demonstrates Pipeshield’s ability to mobilise anywhere in the world at short notice as well as project manage the manufacture locally to the port of mobilisation.
