CERTIFICATION X-BLOC® LA TURBALLE HARBOUR
YEAR : 2021-2022
PROJECT : PORT DE LA TURBALLE
COUNTRY : FRANCE
CONTRACTOR : CHARIER
CLIENT : Syndicat mixte des ports de plaisance et de pêche de Loire Atlantique
HISTORY :
The CHARIER company had to build the new breakwater of the port of La Turballe, protected by 4,000 X-bloc ® of 2.5 and 4 m3.
The sea conditions were difficult:
Swell and low visibility most of the time.
The CHARIER company decided to install the X-BLOC® with divers trained and supervised by CLAS.
The certification of the quality implemented by CLAS was requested by the engineers.
THE KEY NUMBERS :
4 000 X-bloc ® of 2.5 and 4 m3.
THE MISSION :
CLAS acted as an independent consultant with the following mission:
- Train all staff in specific X-bloc ® safety.
- Train the X-bloc ® installation teams.
- Ensure the interface between the company and DMC.
- Establish inspection procedures and implement them.
- Implement certification for a class A project.
PRODUCTION :
Production is calculated on the basis of actual installation hours. Stoppages due to bad weather, breakdowns and, in general, causes unrelated to the installation of X-bloc ® are not taken into account in this calculation.
X-bloc ® 2.5 m3: 8 units per hour.
PROCEDURE :
CLAS inspectors intervened full-time in order to carry out several daily inspections and thus not delay the work by imposing major dismantling.
The personnel responsible for installing the X-bloc ® have been continuously trained and supervised to maintain the highest level of safety and quality.
The inspections were carried out underwater by IMCA and HSE certified CLAS inspectors, who strictly apply the principles defined in the CLAS TECHNOLOGY COMPLIANT™ trademark and out of the water by visits on foot and by drones.
RESULT :
The site was delivered on time and the X-bloc ® shell received without reservation and certified CLASS A breakwater.
COMMENT from CHARIER:
CLAS perpetuates this tradition of excellence and safety at the service of your projects
