Hege­mann GmbH has been awarded the con­tract for the second phase of dred­ging work on the Elbląg River in Pol­and. The cli­ent is the Mari­time Aut­ho­rity in Gdy­nia. The pro­ject is part of the fourth con­s­truc­tion phase for the expan­sion of the water­way bet­ween the Vis­tula Lagoon (Zalew Wiślany) and the Bay of Gdańsk. The goal is to deepen the navi­ga­tion chan­nel to a con­sis­tent depth of five meters, ther­eby impro­ving navi­ga­tion con­di­ti­ons on the Elbląg River. 

The new con­s­truc­tion phase covers appro­xi­m­ately 7.45 kilo­me­ters bet­ween the Fri­sches Haff and Point P1 near Elbląg. The work is being car­ried out by HEGEMANN GmbH in col­la­bo­ra­tion with its Dutch part­ner, Van den Herik Kus­ten Oever­wer­ken B.V. The dred­ging work is being car­ried out while ship­ping traf­fic con­ti­nues, pla­cing high demands on plan­ning and execution. 

As part of the over­all pro­ject, archaeo­lo­gi­cal inves­ti­ga­ti­ons and mea­su­res for envi­ron­men­tal pro­tec­tion and nature con­ser­va­tion are also planned.

With this new con­tract, HEGEMANN GmbH is taking on its share of the work to expand the water­way on the Elbląg River. We app­re­ciate the trust our cli­ent has pla­ced in us and look for­ward to suc­cessfully imple­men­ting this chal­len­ging pro­ject tog­e­ther with our partner.
