TORTUE HUB PROJECT, Dakar, Senegal
The Turtue Hub Project (Greater Tortue Ahmeyim Terminal) is a floating liquefied natural gas terminal for export on the maritime border of Senegal and Mauritania. The terminal belongs to both countries.
Our expertise was used to construct the caisson for the 1 km ling breakwater wall. For the task, we used our Heavy Duty Slipform Set-up for repeated dismantling and re-assembly works.
The terminal will provide shelter from prevailing weather and ocean conditions for vessel and export carriers.
