Fuel Supply Concrete Dock | Repair

The fuel supply concrete dock at the Paros Island power station had sustained extensive corrosion on both sides, leading to seawater intrusion into its foundation. This infiltration, coupled with excessive wave energy during the winter months, caused significant structural damage, including the caving of the dock's body. Cracks formed across the width of the dock, posing a serious risk to the embedded fuel supply pipe, which was critical for the power station's operation. Following a thorough inspection by specially trained divers, the damaged section of the dock was cleared of debris. The divers stabilized the caved-in areas, after which large rocks were strategically placed on both sides of the dock along the seabed to shield it from wave energy. The surface of the broken section was meticulously water-blasted to remove contaminants, and an appropriate adhesive resin was applied. A dense grid of chemically anchored steel dowels and additional steel reinforcement bars was installed. Finally, a new concrete slab was poured to restore the dock’s structural integrity and ensure long-term durability.
