Preparing Port Atlantique La Rochelle for the future by DEME

On the Atlantic Coast, DEME Group is preparing the Port Atlantique La Rochelle for the future.

“Through means of no less than 3 different types of dredgers, we are deepening the current Port zones, but also several berthing pockets for yet-to-be-built quays,” said Jonas Ryvers, project engineer at DEME Group.

“The dredged material is mostly pumped towards a vast reclamation area, where we’re turning a fallow swamp area into a 6 hectare marshaling platform.”

All of this is set to serve the booming offshore wind industry in France.
