Baars BV building new pier in Meersburg

The ferry port of Meersburg, located on scenic Bodensee, is undergoing an iconic transformation. The aging concrete pier, which has marked the shoreline for more than 70 years, is now giving way to a contemporary steel pier.

This ambitious undertaking is being led by the Public utilities of Constance in close cooperation with the renowned OHF Hafen- und Flussbau GmbH and Baars, which supplies the coupling pontoons.

To accomplish this project, an on-water work platform composed of coupling pontoons is being used. The modular pontoon, equipped with hydraulically driven piles supplied by Baars, forms the solid platform for a dredging crane and drilling equipment.

With dimensions of 36.58 x 12.20 x 1.83 meters and equipped with 3 spud poles, this pontoon provides not only stability but also a safe working environment on the water for the workers involved in this project.
