MMS Technology was contracted by Transnet to lift the level of a container handling pier at Cape Town harbour. This pier is subject to high loads from containers and forklifts. A concrete solution was not possible due to the cantilever design of the pier which would not handle the additional concrete mass. The solution was achieved with 32mm thick high strength monolithic composite panels, standing on composite spacers and secured to the pier, lifting the pier by 250mm. For the project 325tons of GRP was processed. The total length of 2km was manufactured and installed in 8 months.
