NEW EASTERN DOCK PROJECT AT PORT OF NAPLES

Trevi worked at the “Darsena di Levante” Eastern Dock in the port of Naples to the design and realization of a new container terminal, a wide area created by filling the body of water between the two piers. From an operational point of view, the project has to face major environmental and construction challenges, due both to the position on the sea and the environmental requirements to be met. A cofferdam structure has to be constructed to the seaward and the landward side, which requires the use of some of the most cutting-edge technologies and materials existing today, from sheet piling to the consolidation of the seabed level, from low impact concreting plants to fibreglass pipes and special cements.
