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.

Our Solutions for Port and Waterway Structures

Freyssinet delivers a full suite of advanced technologies for the assessment, repair, strengthening, and protection of port and waterway structures. From initial diagnostics to specialized access systems, we provide tailored solutions to meet the demands of marine environments.

Accurate evaluation is the foundation of effective repair. Our diagnostic services include:

  • Concrete and steel condition surveys
  • Corrosion assessments

We offer proven techniques to restore structural integrity and performance:

  • Hydro-demolition
  • Concrete repair solutions
  • Dry-sprayed concrete applications
  • Marine and steel works
  • Submerged structure repairs

To meet evolving operational demands, we reinforce structures using:

  • Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites
  • Additional prestressing systems
  • Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) reinforcements
  • Seismic retrofitting solutions

Our protective systems help extend the life of port and waterway structures:

  • Impressed current cathodic protection
  • Sacrificial anodes
  • Water-repellent concrete impregnation
  • Protective coatings for concrete and steel
  • Pile wrapping and jacketing

We ensure safe and efficient access for marine repairs with:

  • Floating access platforms
  • Suspended access systems
  • Custom steel structures
