The Port of Tarragona has announced that it has begun work on installing the bollards on the Balears Wharf. A total of 33 bollards with a capacity of 200 tons each will be installed to provide mooring for the world's largest cruise liners.
The fenders, which are also being installed at a similar pace, and the bollards are the elements that "take the strain of docking and tying up the vessel," the port wrote. Thus, when a ship is slowly approaching in a berthing maneuver, the fenders absorb the momentum of the vessel as it maneuvers, protecting both the dock and the vessel when they come into contact.
In conditions of strong winds and waves, the fenders and bollards are responsible for absorbing the vessel's energy, especially when it tends to approach or move away from the dock.
Nyob rau hauv parallel nrog lub bollard installation, qhov chaw nres nkoj hais tias nws tseem ua tiav cov meters kawg ntawm ntug beam. Cov seem kawg twb tau ua tiav nrog ib lub trolley formwork thiab tsuas yog ob peb ntu tseem yuav ua tiav. Qhov no yuav ua tiav manually vim qhov nyuaj ntawm kev nkag mus, chaw nres nkoj hais.
Qhov chaw nres nkoj ntawm Tarragona kuj tau pib npaj lub esplanade nrog rau qhov kawg earthworks npaj rau yav tom ntej paving. Thawj qhov teeb pom kev zoo rau cov teeb pom kev ntawm cov chaw nres nkoj kuj raug ntsia.
Thaum cov txheej txheem tshiab tau ua haujlwm, nws yuav ua kom muaj peev xwm tau txais cov neeg tuaj xyuas ntau dua thiab nyob rau hauv cov xwm txheej zoo dua. Nws yuav muaj tag nrho cov berthing kab ntawm 700 meters, muab hais tias ntawm 240 ntawm 460 meters nws yuav muaj peev xwm khi rau ntawm ob sab thiab thaj tsam ntawm Llevant breakwater kuj tau ntxiv.
