“Construction” of the jetties
The construction of our harbour has a number of components. We will explain each component separately. The location of the components can be found in the item Hemmeland. This newsitem focuses on the construction/assembly of the piers and jetties. General information on the jetties can be found in their FAQ.
Floating jetties from Sweden
The jetties were built in Sweden by SF Pontona. They consist of 52 floating concrete jetties shipped to Amsterdam by ship. The segments are 20 meters long, totaling 1.1 kilometers. In Amsterdam, they were unloaded, connected (so that everything was ready in the correct order), and towed to Monnickendam.
Transport to Monnickendam
In Monnickendam, we’ve moored the piers temporarily on the Waterland side. They are arranged in order (9-8, etc.). Here you can see that there are narrower piers, wider ones, and a main pier. The main pier is 6 meters wide, the narrower one 2.40 meters, and the wider one 3 meters wide. A total of 10 tows were made to Monnickendam.
Piles
In the week of February 23rd, the crane ship will arrive to drive the steel tubular piles to secure the jetties. We will then position the piers and jetties in the correct location, and Seijsener can begin installing the power and electrical wiring. We’ll also erect bollards, with pre-drilled holes in the concrete.
Extra assembly
After this, we’ll assemble the finger piers. Because there are 224 finger piers for the harbor, we’re using the parking lot between the barrier and the new harbour building at the Hemmeland site as our construction site. The piers will still have floats (blue) and bollards attached and will then enter the water via a temporary ramp. We’re building them here because otherwise, they’ll end up in the wrong part of the marina (the wrong side of the main pier).
