Author Supervision MCCI Yard Bautino
Late 2009 Teniz Service (TS) started the construction works for the land reclamation and quay wall on which McDermott Caspian Contractors Inc (MCCI) is planning to construct their steel fabrication yard.
Witteveen+Bos Kazakshtan, as designer of the project, has been involved as 'Author Supervisor'. A team of our engineers visited the construction site on a bi-weekly schedule to check if the construction was carried out according to our specifications and drawings.
During the design phase of the project some difficulties were anticipated for installing the sheetpiles due to the proven difficult soil layers in this region. All piles were installed at design depth except for one location for which WBK could provide an alternative without having to compromise the original design requirements.
Construction works were finalised in the fall of 2010, after which the land was handed over to MCCI, to start the build of their fabrication yard.
