The project, called ADP Fredericia Havn A/S – Extension of quay 19, concerns the extension of ADP's existing quay 19 by approx. 230 lbm. The west harbour will be closed with a wing wall in the immediate extension of quay 19 (approx. 165 lbm) and connected to existing quay 11. The West Port is converted into hinterland area for container storage.
Overall, the new quay section is divided into a main section (quay 19), which is an extension of approx. 230 m of the existing quay 19, and a wing section (wing wall), which is an extension of approx. 160 m, connecting the main line with the existing quay 11.
The existing west harbour will be filled in and converted into container space, where the existing pier and harbour area off Værftsvej will be demolished 1-2 m below ground level to create a uniform coating that is connected to the current area behind existing quay 19.
Quay 19 will be established as a combi wall consisting of steel piles and box profiles anchored to an anchor pile. The extension will be established with the same water depth as the existing quay 19, corresponding to 15 m. The quay wall is completed with a concrete superstructure consisting of a hammer structure, bollard foundations and a pile-supported slab that can carry loads from cranes.
The wing wall will be established with a water depth of 15 m on the first part of the stretch closest to quay 19. The inner part of the wing wall has a lower existing water depth, and therefore a lower water depth of 8.0 m. The wing wall is completed with a concrete superstructure and bollard foundations.
Both quay 19 and the wing wall are constructed with a quay wall to kote -2.0 m.
As part of the project, a 20 m high pile-based concrete noise barrier will be established, which will be flush with Norgesgade.
For the new quay area, a drainage system will be established with outlets out through the new quay wall. Coating is carried out as concrete stone screed. As part of the contract, the drainage system and paving for existing quay 19 will be renovated and adapted to the new project.
A lifetime of 50 years is generally expected for the structures, with expected ongoing maintenance during the period. In connection with the design of the new plant, account has been taken of a potential sea level rise over the next 25-30 years of the order of 25 cm, just as account has also been taken of expected closures of the quays, etc. over the next 25-30 years in the order of 20-25 cm.
