]]> Bending moment capacity added to calculation sheets http://www.arcelorprojects.com/EN/news/042.htm In the calculation sheet for pipes and combined walls and the calculation sheet for sheet piles, a cell has been added to show the bending moment capacity. To calculate the bending moment the steel grade can be selected from a drop down list...

]]> New GU sheet piles http://www.arcelorprojects.com/EN/news/041.htm The development of an improved GU hot rolled sheet pile produced in Dabrowa, Poland, was triggered by the amazing success of the existing GU 600 range in new markets. Major development was to modify the interlock shape such to become fully compliant with the ArcelorMittal LARSSEN interlock already produced in the sheet pile rolling mills in Belval and Rodange, Luxembourg.

A second improvement was to optimize the steel thicknesses of the new sections for higher efficiency in the section modulus range of 600 to 800 cm³/m...

]]> Discontinuation of ICE dealership http://www.arcelorprojects.com/EN/news/040.htm Due to the merger of the two leading Dutch piling and vibratory hammering firms ICE (International Construction Equipment) and PVE-Dieseko (Piling and Vibro Equipment), the sales and renting of ICE vibratory hammers in Belgium has been transferred to the new company ICE-PVE.

]]> General catalogue 2009 http://www.arcelorprojects.com/EN/news/039.htm The 2009 English edition of our 'General catalogue' is available for downloading and for dispatching. This new version includes the new HZM/AZ combined wall system, as well as the updated values of the steel grades and rolling tolerances of tubular steel piles following the standard ISO 3183 (2007).

You will notice that the new HZM/AZ system replaces the existing HZ/AZ. The steady success of the HZM/AZ combi-wall strengthens our decision to shorten the transition period from the old HZ to the new HZM sections...

]]> New PU 14R in production http://www.arcelorprojects.com/EN/news/038.htm After the successful launching of the PU 8R in March 2008 and the PU 10R in June, the PU 14R is now available as well.

The PU 14R section has a thickness of 11.0 mm in the flange, and as the other U-sections, it can be rolled up and down by 1.0 mm to result in the PU 15R and the PU 13R. The PU 14R range is available in all steel grades of EN 10248, from S 240 GP to S 430 GP, in lengths up to 24,0 m. The sheet piles can be paired and crimped on request...

]]> Dubai Maritime City - Ship Lifts http://www.arcelorprojects.com/EN/news/037.htm The Dubai Maritime City consists of a 2 km² man-made peninsula providing different areas of business, housing and marinas as well as ship repair facilities which are equipped with two ship lifts with a capacity of 3000 and 6000 tons.

With the execution time being the crucial criterium, hot rolled sheet piling was proposed to built the retaining walls of the ship lifts. Finally the main walls are made of AZ 50 in lengths from 23.0 to 24.5 m, whereas the anchor walls are made of AZ 18 sheet piles of 8.5 m long...

]]> ArcelorMittal Projects on Infratech 2009 http://www.arcelorprojects.com/EN/news/036.htm The Dubai Maritime City consists of a 2 km² man-made peninsula providing different areas of business, housing and marinas as well as ship repair facilities which are equipped with two ship lifts with a capacity of 3000 and 6000 tons.

With the execution time being the crucial criterium, an AZ 50 sheet pile wall was proposed as an alternative solution. Finally the main walls are made of AZ 50 in lengths from 23.0 to 24.5 m, whereas the anchor walls are made of AZ 18 sheet piles of 8.5 m long. Both types of walls are connected with a tailor made pre-fabricated system of tie rods and walings...

]]> Quay walls and mooring dock at Cuxhaven, Germany http://www.arcelorprojects.com/EN/news/035.htm In February 2008, the Governement of Lower Saxony approved the construction of Berth 8 in the old 'Grodener Hafen', which includes a production yard for the steel foundation elements of wind turbines. Berth 8 will comprise a 160 m mooring dock, a 115 m waiting area for the transport ships, and a 116 m long loading area built perpendicular to the dock and the waiting area. A water depth of 9.5 m is projected for the three mooring spots at Berth 8...
