The Port of Felixstowe
The company is responsible for the planning, engineering and implementation of the UK’s most successful container port at Felixstowe which became operational in 1967. The Port of Felixstowe is a prime example of Royal Haskoning’s expertise in the field of Port Terminals and Facilities as subsequent expansion has frequently involved many if the inter related disciplines present in this field of maritime engineering.
Continued development of the Port of Felixstowe, for which Royal Haskoning has been responsible since the 1960’s, highlights the company’s ability of working effectively to utilise skills and expertise across different specialisations in providing workable solutions which stand the test of time.
A total of four container terminals have been built at the Port of Felixstowe over which in excess of 1 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEU’s) are handled annually. All quays constructed for these terminals have consisted of anchored steel sheet piled retaining walls designed by Royal Haskoning.
