Complex steel construction work under demanding conditions: Repair of damaged dolphins in the NOK
Project: Repair of damaged dolphins in the Kiel Canal
Steel construction work under difficult conditions and the highest quality standards
Client: AUG. Prien Construction GmbH & Co.KG
Performance category: Steel hydraulic engineering
The dolphin in the Kiel Canal (NOK) is a vital infrastructure component that ensures safe berth protection for ships while safeguarding the canal's stability. The subsidiary KIS GmbH took on the task of repairing the damaged dolphins and preparing them for the installation of modern fender technology. The challenge was to carry out the work under the difficult conditions of high-frequency shipping traffic while maintaining high safety and quality standards.
- Shipping traffic and construction freedom: The work had to be carried out under the difficult conditions of a busy shipping route.
- High safety standards: Compliance with strict standards and regulations was essential to ensure both the safety of the construction work and uninterrupted shipping traffic.
- Complex task coordination: From steel construction and assembly to closure manufacturing and surface treatment, the work required not only technical expertise but also precise coordination and efficient execution.
KIS GmbH as part of the Krebs Unternehmensgruppe relied on proven technologies and specialized methods to successfully implement the complex repair of the dolphins in the Kiel Canal.
- High-quality execution according to the specifications and tender: All work was carried out to the highest quality and strictly in accordance with the specifications of the service description and the tender.
- Welding technology in accordance with the client's required standards: The welding work was carried out in compliance with strict technical standards. This high level of precision and the durability of the structures are the result of KIS GmbH's certification and experience in steel construction and welding technology.
- Goal- and solution-oriented communication: The project benefited from very close communication with the client, which ensured fast and efficient implementation of the work and the fulfillment of all project requirements.
