METHOD TO EXPAND BERTHING FACILITIES AND TRANSHIPMENT BERTH Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC E02B1/00 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: method to expand berthing facilities includes submerging piles, pile shells into soil, concreting a foundation grill onto them and installation of a crane beam, provides for performance of works in front of an expanded berth. In parallel to its cordon at a distance of a bridge crane track width with cantilevers, an additional narrow berth is built to reach large depths. A row of batter piles is deepened in addition to vertical support piles to perceive load from impact of a moored vessel. Crane beams are installed separately on an additional narrow berth and on a cordon of an expanded berth. At the same time a canal is created for passage of vessels with low draft between the additional narrow berth and the expanded berth under the middle part of the bridge crane with cantilevers.

EFFECT: using a group of inventions will make it possible to ensure higher efficiency of handling works from a vessel to a vessel in a water area or near a harbour berth, and also to expand berthing facilities to reach larger depths.
