- The company has designed a new stationary facility to pump concrete to its iconic floating caisson dock, known as Kugira
ACCIONA has reached a major milestone in its efforts to industrialize and decarbonize its construction processes by designing its first stationary facility to pump concrete to Kugira, its iconic floating caisson dock. In doing so, the company has succeeded in industrializing a key phase in the construction of port works.
This new facility features four static pumps, two of which are electric while the other two are combustion-engine powered and capable of running on renewable biofuel produced from waste vegetable oil (HVO). Moreover, its novel piping system ensures a constant and efficient flow of concrete to ensure the optimal operation of the Kugira floating dock.
This model of industrialized operation not only makes the construction process more efficient, but also contributes to its decarbonization, making it a highly innovative and sustainable solution for the construction of maritime works.
