The project

The reconstruction of the gangway involved the replacement of 4 large-diameter dolphins (2032 mm and 20 to 35 mm thick).
Forming a 72-metre long berthing quay, the dolphins are linked together by a gangway with its own pile foundations

The project is situated on the old delta of the Rivière des Galets.

The formation on the site consist of alluvium with a very wide range of particle sizes, ranging from more or less loamy sand to basalt blocks and taking in pebbles and gravel.
