The importance of the Aberdeen port expansion project in Scotland
The port of the Scottish city is the epicenter of the oil industry in the United Kingdom. The internationalization of the ACS group and therefore of Relieve Engineering is consolidated in the European continent and the expansion is added to other engineering projects worldwide that have also been awarded to the group. The new facilities will be located in the south bay of the current port with the objective of complementing and increasing the current capacity, as well as guaranteeing the activity of larger ships in accordance with the increase in demand for the future.
The works of this engineering work that consolidates the role of Relieve Engineering as a partner of the large construction companies, must be completed in 2020. This includes the dredging of the bay and access channels to the port. Also the construction of shelter dikes, located both north and south of it. At the same time, a total of 1400 docks and new infrastructures associated with the current ones will be projected. In this way, the objective of increasing its capacity can be achieved by adapting it to future needs.
