OUR PROJECTS

PRDW has performed a wide range of port and coastal projects across all sectors which require maritime infrastructure.

PORT INFRASTRUCTURE

PRDW has developed port solutions for a wide range of multi-purpose terminals in the private and public sectors across the globe.

MINING AND BULK MATERIALS

PRDW has designed import and export facilities for a wide range of minerals in the mining industry with direct loading and transshipment solutions.

ENERGY

PRDW provides a range of marine infrastructure solutions for the import and export of hydrocarbons including jetties, buoys and submarine pipelines.

WATER

PRDW has extensive experience in providing water intakes and outfalls for desalination and for cooling water in the power sector including nuclear facilities.

To support the development of our port infrastructure solutions, PRDW offers advanced numerical modelling in coastal engineering, metocean and hydrodynamic studies, sediment transport, navigation, vessel motions and seismic analysis.

MARINAS AND WATERFRONTS

PRDW has designed the marine aspects of many marinas and waterfronts for leisure and commercial purposes including the iconic V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.

Mining and bulk materials

Blue Dolphin: Bulks terminal

Unloading terminal for oil, coal, biomass, limestone and petcoke for Mejillones and Andino power plants. The project entailed the detail engineering of marine and landside infrastructure.

Port infrastructure

Puerto San Antonio: Costanera terminal

Inland, offshore and land reclamation works for a new container terminal for the new “Costanera” port sites in San Antonio. The project comprises the design of a 700 m long pier, as well as modifications to the existing breakwater and to the existing sites 4 and 5.

Marine works and studies

St Helena Island: Rupert’s Bay permanent wharf

Wharf for handling cargo, complete with breakwater protection, passenger landing facilities, and slipway for rescue craft.

Projects

Koeberg Nuclear Power Station: Cooling water intake basin

Site data collection, feasibility studies, licensing reports, in addition to the detailed design of the breakwaters, pump house structures and the cooling water outfall.

Energy

LNG Mejillones: Unloading jetty

Maritime civil works for two berths for LNG ships, one for a permanent FSRU in its first phase and the other for unloading LNG.

Marine works and studies

Port of Salaverry: Implementation of Shoretension® system

Study to analyze and quantify the benefits of installing ShoreTension®
devices

Mining and bulk materials

TGN: Mejillones bulk terminal

Unloading terminal (mainly coal) for attention ships Panamax of 80,000 DWT, and with a capacity of 6MTPA. The terminal consists of a jetty and a mechanized system.

Marinas and waterfronts

Seychelles: Eden Island marina development

Coastal engineering for the development of Eden Island in the Seychelles.

Projects

PIEM Red Dragon: Sea water intake and outfall for cooling system

Detailed engineering of the Cooling Water Intake and Cooling Water Outfall systems for the new thermal power generation Units (6 & 7) as part of the expansion of Mejillones Power Plant. Each unit is designed to generate a gross electrical output of 375MW.
