GIECO is an EPC contract in four main sectors : industrial, marine, and coastal, building and infrastructure. The company asked ACIMEX to provide them with drop tables for breakwaters on the great extension project of the ABU QIR harbor. Egyptian authorities expect this port to become a dynamic economic center.
ACIMEX provides equipment to handle the breakwater blocks of the ABU QIR harbor
Egyptian coasts will be covered with Xblocs on almost 9 kms for the creation of the breakwater extension of the ABU QIR harbor. In order to manage the installation, 3 drop tables with hydraulic tensors have been ordered to ACIMEX, which can lift until 34 tons each. They're in operation on site since mid-may.
Experts in heavy loads lifting, ACIMEX conceives and manufactures light drop tables that are easily manageable and adapting to each type of concrete blocks. The use of a drop table guarantees a precise and safe positionning of the block on the breakwater : hydraulic tensors ensure the command of the rotation and the keeping of the block in the required position.
The ACIMEX drop tables can also be equipped with the POSIBLOC™ system, conceived by the french company MESURIS : this system is a real-time 3D monitoring and guarantees an optimized positionning of the blocs, and also a gain of time for the operators.
