Ravestein has designed and built a new dock gate for Dry Dock No. 1 in the Port of Brest, France.
Transport took place over the past few weeks from the Ravestein yard in Deest, The Netherlands.
The dock gate was moved using Ravestein’s own SPMTs onto the pontoon Skyline Barge 30 and then transported to Rotterdam. There, the gate was lifted into the water with the assistance of the floating crane Matador 3.
Installation, testing and commissioning will take place in Brest itself.
Ravestein was established in 1973 and specialises in heavy steel constructions such as bridges, lock gates, roll-on/roll-off landing stages, jack-up platforms and backhoe dredgers, as well as all types of modular pontoons and ships. The entire process from fabrication to installation, including maintenance, is carried out in-house.
