Germany: KED & Sellhorn Bags HPA Development Project

Bietergemeinschaft KED & Sellhorn has been awarded a contract for harbour improvement works by Hamburg Port Authority.

An extension to the shoreline of approx. 500m between the coal-ship harbour and outer harbour is needed for the enlargement of harbour entrance turning area.

1.2 million cubic meters of soil material needs to be removed and handled. Another 500,000 cubic meters of soil material will be installed to to strengthen the colliery port, the rest is going to be shared with additional dredged materials and placed in other required areas of construction within the port.
