The Board of Directors of the Port of Barcelona approved the beginning of the procedure for constructing a battery of seven underground conduits connecting the Energy and Adossat wharves.
The accepted project has a baseline tender budget of approximately US$16 million and a 28-month execution timeframe.
The conduits will span the 700-metre-long navigation canal at a depth of 32 metres below sea level, making these activities complicated.
This work is required to provide basic services to the Adossat wharf, which is currently being expanded, as well as to establish the medium-voltage network required for the Nexigen dock electrification project.
According to the statement, the planned expansion of the Adossat wharf will require the expansion of the service networks, particularly the electrical supply, in order to give sufficient power to the ships linked while at berth, as foreseen in the Nexigen wharf electrification plan.
This is why it was deemed necessary to construct seven additional underground conduits that will travel beneath the Port’s southern access channel to connect the Energy and Adossat wharves.
