36" gas pipe drawn through borehole at a depth of 40 meters
11-11-2009 - © Port of Rotterdam AuthorityOn 11 November contractors Visser & Smit Hanab have drawn a 36 inch gas pipe with a length of over 1200 metres through a borehole under the Yangtzehaven.
This is the last of six borings, which have been carried out to take the cables and pipes currently running through the pipe tracks along the Europaweg to a depth of over 40 metres below NAP (Amsterdam Ordnance Datum), under the quay wall of the Euromax terminal. Following on from the borings, various utility companies will connect the cables and pipes to the existing infrastructure. This is necessary so that the dredging of the Yangtzehaven, the new access to Maasvlakte 2, can go ahead.
