Many port and waterway structures were built more than 30 years ago and often are beyond their original design life. These critical assets face constant exposure to harsh marine environments, making maintenance both challenging and costly. To ensure continued performance and safety, they frequently require rehabilitation or upgrades to meet the demands of modern vessels and operations.

Common Use Cases for Port and Waterway Structure Repairs
01. Structural Refurbishment
Comprehensive repair and restoration of aging concrete and steel components to ensure continued safety and performance.
02. Wharf Modernization
Upgrades to increase berthing capacity, such as extending wharf length, widening decks, and reinforcing structures to accommodate larger, heavier vessels.
03. Gantry Crane Upgrades
Structural strengthening to support the increased loads and dynamic forces of next-generation gantry cranes.
04. Service Life Extension
Targeted interventions to extend the operational life of port and waterway structures from 30 to 50 years, even in aggressive marine environments.
