TWD Develops Tubular Piling Gate for New Wharf Project in Port of Dundee

To provide marshalling space for the Neart Na Gaoeithe offshore wind farm, GRAHAM Civil Engineering has built a 171-meter extension of the Caledon East Wharf at the Port of Dundee. The new wharf helps increase the offshore wind capacity of Scotland.
TWD developed the installation method of the 126-pile grid and a self-supporting piling gate. Two gates were fabricated to further speed the piling campaign. The double-level gate was positioned against the previously installed pile and was repositioned in a single crane lift which sped up the piling rate.
Our close collaboration with GRAHAM Civil Engineering resulted in a smart construction project.
Project highlights
- Method engineering to define an efficient construction solution
- Double-level tubular pile gate
- Supported on previously installed piles
- Single crane lift repositioning
The new Wharf at the Port of Dundee. Once completed at the end of 2021, the total quayside available at this specific part of the port will be 485m. The quayside, combined with the capital dredging program under way in the River Tay will allow large semi-submersible vessels (HTV) or wind installation (WIV) to berth in the port.
