Subject of the project is the structural reinforcement of the travel lift basin of the nautical yards of the Marina of Cala Galera. The purpose of the intervention is to allow the use of a 570 tons crane Travel Lift, rather than of the actual 320 tons crane.
Currently the structures of towing and launching of the Marina of Cala Galera are two Travel Lift basins, parallelly organized. The intervention of enlargement concerns the largest basin.
In the south side, further Ø600 mm diameter fondation poles are realized with reinforced concrete. In the north side, to realize the widening of the tub from 10 but 11 ms, the beam will be reconstructed with a new alignment, moved than around 85 cm internally . For this reason, Ø800 mm diameter poles are realized just on the internal side.
Finally, the current variability of the seabed inside the basin will be homogenized to a depth of 4.50 m.

With the purpose to reduce the time of realization and to maintain in action the smallest travel lift basin, the work are effected positioning the bore machine on a temporary filling of the actual basin. The basin are closed port side.
