Construction of Al-Laith Fishery Harbor – Qunfudah
The harbor implementation contract exceeded 35 Million Riyals with a construction duration of 20 months.
The Problem
The berths accommodate fishing boats and the associated rock protection, marine dredging and backfilling, supporting wall for loading and unloading services, and slide for boat maintenance. The project covers an area of 23,000 m² and comprises an external security fence and fuel station to serve the fishermen.
The stakeholders knew that this structure would require a corrosion prevention solution to ensure it would reach its expected service life in a marine environment.
Our Solution
Both the owner and consultant recognize Galvashield technology for its proven track record. For this reason, they immediately knew to partner with Vector's local distributor, Fosroc, to supply a corrosion prevention solution. Galvashield® XP4 anodes were proposed for the corrosion prevention of the newly constructed R.C. berths to reduce the high risk of corrosion initiation inherent in a marine environment.
The project management team chose to use the solution provided by Vector and Fosroc because of its high efficiency and quick and easy installation. The extensive list of executed projects and successes working with Vector and Fosroc have further provided the client and consultant with confidence in this proposal.
The Result
Through having a high-performance and easy-to-install solution, Fosroc has managed to provide the client with a reliable and quick solution to tackle the steel reinforcement corrosion problem in such an aggressive exposure condition.
The ease of application of Vector's galvanic corrosion protection systems contributed to meeting the tight work schedule plan set for project construction. In addition, the corrosion protection anodes offered a peace of mind solution to the client with zero maintenance required.
All concerned site parties have expressed great satisfaction in the quality of supplied products, ease of application, on-site technical support, and efficiency of Fosroc Corrosion Solutions.
