Description:
The Heritage Wharf cruise ship pier at Bermuda’s Royal Naval Dockyard urgently needed repairs for erosion damage and also an expansion to better accommodate large cruise ships. Because the damage was worse than anticipated, a successful start to the crucial cruise season was endangered. However, the pier was finished without mishap or delay.
Products Used:

The expansion of the new refinery unit of Hellenic Petroleum Company included an underground network to collect and recirculate residual products from the refinery, and the construction and sealing/repairing of 1,000 reinforced concrete wells (total volume: 4,000m3).
