On Das Island in Abu Dhabi, the company SIXCO called on IDMer, the parent company of CLAS, for the rehabilitation of the armor layer of the new breakwater.
The placement and control of the X-bloc® units had been carried out solely using the ECHOSCOPE®. From the very first storm, significant damage appeared. Our experts carried out an audit of the construction site and of the structure.
X-bloc® is a registered trademark owned by DMC, and ECHOSCOPE® is a registered trademark owned by CODA OCTOPUS. These companies are in no way affiliated with CLAS. The independence of CLAS from these companies was a determining factor in the choice of CLAS to arbitrate the dispute between the contractor and the oil company ADNOC.
The mission entrusted to CLAS
Train the installation teams in safety and in the X-bloc® technique.
Supervise the placement of the units,
Assist the divers during installation,
Improve installation quality,
Certify the quality of the works for the oil company ADNOC.
