JLD contracting BV relocates entire beach pavilion on Texel
Commissioned by Beach Pavilion Paal 17, JLD Contracting BV is moving the Pavilion Paal 17 Aan Zee over a length of 23 meters forward towards the sea.
This relocation is necessary as a result of a requirement imposed by theNoorderkwartier Water Board who state that the pavilion is in the way of allowing the dunes to "grow." The requirement serves to ensure that there must be sufficient growth space for the dune to be sufficiently strong to counter the rise in sea level.
This entire operation was conceived and executed by JLD Contracting BV.
Scope of work:
- New piles installed: JLD has placed 12-meter-long piles at the new location that are long enough to accommodate future erosion of the beach. Youtube
- Girder installed: The piles have a joist that is perpendicular to the joist of the current pavilion.
- Provisions: The pavilion is temporarily weighted at the bottom with a steel "table" (steel structure) . With steel beams 24 meters long.
- Disconnection: Pole 17 is disconnected from all utilities such as gas, water, sewage, electricity, etc.
- Steel table: The steel table is constructed to be sufficiently rigid to lift the pavilion with minimal deformation using two transport trucks, SPMTs.
- Sawing through piles: Once the trolleys bear the full weight, the existing piles are cut below the joist, leaving the building free on the trolleys.
- Transportation: The SPMTs wagons travel along a prepared steel roadway to the new location of the pavilion.
- Placement: The pavilion will be erected at the new location on the newly installed beams, which are perpendicular to the original beams and will be coupled to the new joists.
