Great expectations in Gothenburg
The Swedish Port of Gothenburg has embarked on the building of a new terminal, the largest port expansion since the 1970s.
Dredged material is currently being reused as filling material in the construction of the port´s next major investment. Since autumn 2018, 1,500 piles have been sunk into the bedrock, and the Arendal bay has been embanked with blasting stones from an adjacent hill. The embanked bay will constitute the coming terminal area.
But first, the bay will be filled with about 180,000 cbm of contaminated dredging spoils. The terminal is expected to be completed by 2023, although certain sections might be brought into use before then. The new terminal will cover a surface of 220,000 sqm. (cd)
