Dear
Readers,
Welcome to the latest edition of “die bautechnik”.
SINCE THE LAST EDITION WE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN PLENTY OF EXCITING PROJECTS THAT HAVE INSPIRED
US TO ACHIEVE OUR VERY BEST PERFORMANCE. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR LEAD STORY “BIGGER, WIDER, BETTER”
IN WHICH WE REPORT ON THE EXPANSION OF THE PORT ON THE RHINE AT ANDERNACH, HOW IT IS BEING
TURNED INTO AN EFFICIENT LOGISTICS CENTRE.
Another highlight in this issue is the article entitled
“Kosovo assignment”, a project in which energy-efficient housing is heated with geothermal energy. Heavy
plant and a special drilling technique were necessary
here in order to reach the depths necessary within a
short time.
Besides a host of other topics in this edition, you will
also find the results of our “die bautechnik” poll.
We would like to thank all those who helped us by
taking part. The results reveal that you spend well over

Sassnitz-Mukran
logistics node
The expansion of the Baltic Sea port at Sassnitz-Mukran is intended to increase the
handling capacity by 3 million tonnes in the coming years.
GERMANY 05
During the expansion phase, the port is a logistics node for the
building of the Baltic Sea gas pipeline and also functions as a special
port for the loading/unloading of plant and machinery.
The Sassnitz-Mukran ferry terminal,
also well known because it is the most
westerly station on the Trans-Siberian
Railway, is Germany’s largest railway
ferry terminal for mixed railway traffic
to and from Russia, the Baltic states and
Scandinavia; it is also a special port for
loading/unloading plant and machinery.
During the expansion phase, the port is
a logistics node for the building of the
Baltic Sea pipeline.
S
assnitz-Mukran ferry terminal is Germany’s
most north-easterly deep-water port in the
Baltic Sea; the current water depth of 10.5 m
is being increased to 12 m. With about
40 km of railway facilities, it is the only port capable of
handling the Russian and Finnish wide-gauge rolling
stock. The port’s capacity is currently in excess of 5 million tonnes. The target is to increase this to 8 million
over the coming years.
The expansion includes the construction of Berth 9 in
two phases. Colcrete-von Essen GmbH & Co. KG, Ueckermünde Branch, awarded ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik’s
Rostock Branch the complete contract for supplying the
tubular sheet pile wall, the anchor wall behind and all the
round steel tie rods, walings and quay equipment with
recesses and 1000 kN double bollards from ASF Anton
Schmoll GmbH.
In future the pipes for the 1220 km long Russo-German
gas pipeline operated by Nord Stream AG will be loaded
here. Work will begin in April 2010 between Vyborg in
Russia and Greifswald-Lubmin in Germany. Upon completion of that project new Russian natural gas supplies
from Siberia will start flowing in 2012 and in future make
an important contribution to reliable energy supplies for
Europe. The total volume at full capacity (two pipelines)
could reach approx. 55 billion m³/year.
06 GERMANY
A challenge for people and materials
The German groups E.ON and BASF/Wintershall plus
Gasunie from the Netherlands are stakeholders in Nord
Stream AG. However, the Russian group Gazprom holds
a majority stake of 51%. The contract for supplying the
gas pipes for further processing by the EUPEC concrete
casing yard was won by the German company Europipe
based in Mühlheim. Consequently, the port is currently a
logistics node with storage areas, concrete casing yard
and the shipment of gas pipes for Nord Stream AG.
It is hoped that the enlarged ferry terminal will also be
involved in distribution for offshore wind farms, primarily
in the Baltic Sea. This is the reason for the new Berth 9,
currently under construction, with a 200 m quay and a
nominal water depth of max. 12.10 m.

The technical details
Berth 9, a continuation of Berth 8, has been designed by
engineering consultants Merkel Consult as an anchored
tubular sheet pile wall with L23 triple sheet piles as intermediate elements and cast-in-place driven piles behind.
The structural analysis was carried out by the Tilebein
engineering consultancy. As the fisheries quay belonging
to local company Euro Baltik and other quay walls in
Mukran port had been constructed with a smaller tubular
sheet pile wall, a similar wall but with large tubes was
regarded as the best solution. (The ground consists of
loose to medium-dense stands with chalk strata in some
areas and below that a marl plus stone inclusions with a
low bearing capacity, which was formed during the last
ice age about 5000 years ago.)
Behind the sheet pile wall (steel grade X70) there is a second row of loadbearing piles in the form of 400 mm dia.
cast-in-place driven piles 18.10 m long. Once the main
wall is anchored and the backfilling in place, the concrete
piles will be installed about 1.50 m behind the wall. The
load per unit area along the edge of the quay for cranes
is max. 35 kN/m² for a water depth of 12 m. The second
crane beam approx. 13 m behind the sheet pile wall is in
the form of a shallow heavy-duty foundation.
The boulder clay in Mukran has only a low bearing capacity. According to the soil survey, a large tubular sheet
pile wall anchored with 5 inch dia. round steel tie rods
approx. 29 m long is necessary. The base of the tubes
with E22 interlocks welded on both sides is at HN (sea
level) -23.50 m (-25.50 m). The top edge of the composite sheet pile wall is at HN +2.0 m, the top edge of the
finished quay at HN +3.50 m. The 1000 kN double bollards have additional anchoring in the form of 4¼ inch
dia. round steel tie rods.
Convincing performance from tubular sheet pile wall
The loadbearing tubes, 1620 x 17.50 mm, were vibratory
driven with two clamping units. The tubes were vibrated
in a six-part double driving guide down to 5 m above sea
level. Impact driving, a minimum of 3 m, in order to form
a loadbearing plug at the base of the tube, was essential
for driving the piles to their final depth. A PTC 34 HF and
MS-48 HFV from MÜLLER, with a powerful 840 kW power
pack, were used for driving. The better performance of
08 GERMANY
The driven tubular sheet pile wall prior to pouring the concrete
for the capping beam.
In order to increase the lifetime of 50 years, the tubular
sheet pile wall was coated with Icosit SW 500 (film thickness 830 µm) for protection against corrosion in the
splash zone on the water side over a height of 4 m. The
large tubes were coated directly on the building site for
logistics and economics reasons. This coating work with
capping is being carried out by the Hartmann company
from Dortmund. The intermediate piles were coated at
the works using the same system. The entire tubular
sheet pile wall was delivered by rail for economic and
environmental reasons.
the MS-48 HFV proved to be a major advantage for the
vibratory driving of the 18–20 tonne tubes because they
were able to be driven to their design depth without any
problems. Small and medium-sized obstacles were
forced aside without having to interrupt the driving. The
final impact driving (without driving guide) was carried
out with an ICH S 90, which in terms of power was
adequate. This large composite wall with L23 triple piles,
L = 19.10 (approx. 75% of tube length), grid dimension
BSyst = 3.18 m, has a comparatively high stiffness
(Iy = 907 827 cm4), a section modulus of Wy = 11 208 cm³
and a favourable weight per unit area of 277.3 kg/m².
Installation is more involved than is the case with a composite wall comprising single or double Peiner bearing
piles. But the technical specification, the high loadcarrying capacity of the tubes and the price/performance
ratio can certainly be regarded as advantageous in
certain instances, like Berth 9 in Mukran.
Drawing: Fährhafen Sassnitz GmbH
The excellent cooperation with the contractor, Colcretevon Essen GmbH & Co. KG, consulting engineers Merkel
Consult, the site management and the checking engineers will result in a stable, new structure for Berth 9 in
the Sassnitz-Mukran deep-water port. n
Big plans: adding another berth to the ferry terminal should increase
the opportunities for distribution projects in the Baltic Sea.

1000 tonnes of steel against

Pott kocht
theWenn
forces
The coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is 1712 km
long; 354 km of that borders the sea, 1358 km lagoons. When
we compare the maps of 100 years ago with those of today,
we see that not only has the shape of the coast changed,
but also that the land mass has retreated somewhat. The
forces of nature are to be held back with more than 1000
tonnes of sealed HOESCH steel sheet pile walls to provide
protection against floods along the lagoon coast between
the Trave and Świna rivers.
Sheet pile walls can be used in a variety of ways for providing flood defences,
especially when communities around coastal lagoons have to be protected
against storm tides. Responsible for this is the State Agency for Environment
& Nature (STAUN), which acts on behalf of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
Environment Ministry. In principle, sheet pile walls can provide sealing, stabilising and also loadbearing functions. They are used successfully for upgrading
dykes and in autonomous combinations with dyke sections and mobile flood
protection elements, e.g. at dyke openings.
Wherever space is at a premium, the building of a dyke would result in the
loss of valuable biotopes and short construction times are necessary, steel
sheet pile walls represent an excellent solution.

Flood defences in Mönkebude: the L603K piles were installed with a Giken F3 press and are fitted with
HOESCH system seals and coated with a protective paint system down to 80 cm below ground level
10 GERMANY Projects
Flood defence wall at Markgrafenheide
near Warnemünde.
An additional permanent elastic seal in the interlocks, using the
HOESCH system, plus a polyurethane coating (film thickness
320 µm) on the visible part of the wall increase the durability of
the structure. Furthermore, a coloured coating improves the appearance of the plain steel sheet pile wall, allowing it to harmonise
better with the landscape.
The many years of experience with the seemingly placid waters of
Szczecin Lagoon urge caution when it comes to flood defences for
the nearby settlements. With a high level in the River Oder, but also in the case of a strong north-east wind, the water level rises to
such an extent that the popular tourist destinations of Ueckermünde und Mönkebude can suddenly find themselves flooded. Such
dangers have now been averted thanks to the construction of extensive flood defences. Over recent years various flood defence
projects have been completed on the inland side of Wustrow
(Fischland-Darss peninsula), in Ueckermünde and Mönkebude
(Szczecin Lagoon) and in Markgrafenheide (Breitling Lagoon at
Warnemünde). The measures implemented reveal the significance
of the sheet pile wall with its efficient interlock sealing for providing protection against floods and storm tides along the Baltic Sea
coast.
The design heights of 3.25 m above sea level in Markgrafenheide,
2.10 m above sea level in Wustrow and 1.85m above sea level in
Ueckermünde are based on the extreme events recorded during
the great storm tides since 1872, plus a freeboard of 30–50 cm.
HN level lies 14 cm above the normal mean water level of the Baltic Sea and is the official zero reference for the federal state of
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Section LARSSEN 603 double pile, S270GP, L = 7.50/6.20 m, with interlock
seals (HOESCH system), approx. 500 m sealed over 1.80 m from top edge of

Flood defences in Hafenstrasse in the Baltic Sea resort of Wustrow (Fischland-Darss peninsula)
Some 150 tonnes of steel sheet piling have been installed on a
congested site as a flood defence measure on the Saaler Lagoon
side in Hafenstrasse in the Baltic Sea resort of Wustrow on the
Fischland-Darss peninsula.
The sealing extends about 80 cm into the ground. The threading
interlock is fitted with a permanently elastic polyurethane profiled
seal with two lips, the middle interlock of the double piles an injected synthetic seal. This sealing system satisfies the highest demands and was applied in the factory. On the water side, the sheet
pile wall has been given a protective paint coating, at the top and
on the land side a coloured in situ concrete cladding. In addition,
ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik supplied three dyke opening closures consisting of a double bay of aluminium stop logs plus appro-

priate wall and standard posts. These are stored separately in mesh cages ready for use. During flooding these
access routes are therefore closed off temporarily.
Ueckermünde storm tide protection, dyke polder 13,
4th phase (Szczecin Lagoon)
The anchored sheet pile wall at dyke polder 13 in the
town of Ueckermünde on Szczecin Lagoon protects Grabenstrasse and the sea sports club, closing off an existing gap. The sheet pile wall runs directly along the bank
of the River Uecker, which flows into Szczecin Lagoon at
Ueckermünde. A total of 120 tonnes was supplied.
On the water side the coating to the sheet piling was provided over a distance of 5.35 m from the top edge, on
the land side over 1.85 m in some places where it is visible. The coating was applied in a thickness of 550 µm
to a total of 940 m² of developed surface. A special
ThyssenKrupp proposal was employed in order to tie
back the sheet pile wall: 63 Ischebeck Titan 52/26 micropiles, each 18 m long, were supplied complete and
installed. The installation was carried out by the experienced contractor Plauschenat according to the new
DIN EN 14199, which has replaced the national standard
DIN 4128 dating from 1983.
Section LARSSEN 602 double pile, S270 GP, L = 10.80/9.80 m,
staggered embedment depth, with interlock seals (HOESCH
system), approx. 1160 m sealed over 5.35 m from top edge of
sheet pile wall.
Ring dyke with two sheet pile wall sections in
Markgrafenheide
In the case of severe storm tides, Markgrafenheide to
the east of the seaside resort of Warnemünde is exposed
to great risks from the seaward side and also the landward side because of Breitling Lagoon. This area is
therefore the first to be provided with a ring dyke. This
also involved installing 460 m of sheet pile wall in two
phases between 2003 and 2005 in addition to the
seaward hydraulic fill and the landward dykes.
The sheet pile walls in the 2nd phase, employing
LARSSEN 703K double pile, grade S270/S355GP sections, are visible on the western side of Markgrafenheide, directly adjacent to the allotments, where they rise
up to 3.25 m above ground level. On one side an earth
embankment was built up and trees planted. The
HOESCH sealing system was employed over a length of
3.60 m from the top edge of the sheet pile wall in the
western section, and over 3.25 m from the top edge in
the eastern section. About 1850 m of seals were attached to the 320 tonnes of sheet piling installed. The
sheet pile wall was given a coloured paint finish on
both sides in the region of the seals.
Prior to this, the entire sheet pile wall was hot-dip galvanised to comply with the higher corrosion protection specification. This provides additional protection against rusting
in the existing partly organically decomposed soils.
The advantages of these sections with their 10/9 mm wall
thickness compared to similar sections (1.20 m width of
double bearing pile) is to be found in the weight-saving of
approx. 10% for the same section modulus, and the approx. 17% reduction in the number of interlocks and interlock seals. In addition, the area to be painted is about 4%
smaller. The driving performance achievable also increases by at least 10%.
Section LARSSEN 602 double pile, S270 GP, L = 10.80/9.80 m,
staggered embedment depth, with interlock seals (HOESCH
system), approx. 1160 m sealed over 5.35 m from top edge of
sheet pile wall.
Thanks to the additional green coating this Hoesch steel sheet pile wall
blends in beautifully with the landscape.

SHEET PILE WALL DEFENCES
ON BOTH SIDES
Building site in 2006: approx. 400 m of sheet pile wall providing
protection against flooding
Flood defences in Mönkebude on Szczecin Lagoon
For reasons of space, it was decided to provide flood
defences in the centre of the holiday resort of Mönkebude in the form of a sheet pile wall over a length of
approx. 400 m. The sheet pile wall consisting of 5.50 m
long LARSSEN 603K sections projects between 1.50 and
2.20 m out of the ground and is provided with a fourcoat protective paint system consisting of UV-resistant
materials. This coloured coating has a total thickness
of 320 µm and extends down to 80 cm below ground
level.
A green final coat means that the wall fits in well with
the shrubbery planted directly in front of the wall and
is hardly noticeable. The patented HOESCH interlock
sealing system guarantees an impervious wall.
HOESCH system provides long-term, reliable protection against
all environmental influences, even a temperature rise in the sheet
pile wall due to direct sunlight.
The sheet pile wall is embedded on average 4 m in the ground
and this guarantees the stability of this flood defence measure
even in the case of extreme water levels, and prevents the water
percolating through the soil.
In order to reduce noise levels, and because the sheet
pile wall is very close to existing buildings, the sheet piles
were installed with a GIKEN F3 press.
One opening for vehicles and another for pedestrians
guarantees access to the beach, the campsite and the
port facilities. When there is a risk of flooding, these
openings in the flood defences are closed off reliably
with a double row of TKR stop logs.
The Dortmund-based Hartmann company carried out the
preparatory work on the sheet piles (profiled seals and
SIKA protective paint system). ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik, Rostock Branch, supplied approx. 250 tonnes of
HOESCH sheet piles, the TKR stop log system and the
sheet pile pressing plant.
HOESCH sheet pile walls were installed to form further
flood defences at Kühlungsborn (stabilising the base of
the promenade), at Dassower Lake, at Heiligendamm
(Conventer Lake) and at the outfall works for the Stromgraben in Graal-Müritz on the Baltic Sea coast. n

The five active units of Mannheim power station have been supplying the
cities of the Rhine-Neckar region with electricity and heat economically
for almost 90 years. At the end of 2009 the power station’s supervisory
board approved the construction of the new unit 9 with an output of about
900 MW.
The new unit is expected to cost EUR 1.2 billion and should be ready for operation in
2013. It functions according to the combined
heat and power (CHP) principle, which enables the environmentally compatible, climatefriendly generation of electricity and district
heat.
ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik has so far
supplied more than 4000 tonnes of steel
sheet piling for the basements to the power

Mega building site for unit 9: a mega project that
requires a huge technological and materials input and,
above all, teamwork.
telescopic leaders. Up to three machines of
this type and six rotary drilling rigs for the
contiguous piling were working simultaneously on the building site.
The complexity and size of this project embraces almost the entire spectrum of ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik as a systems supplier
for specialist civil engineering and port projects.
ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik GmbH therefore also supplied all the walings, anchors
and other equipment with steel hydraulic
engineering components for the quay wall
and prepared all the detailed drawings in
its own design office ready for the checking
engineer. Fast response times, fast processing and just-in-time deliveries are essential for all those involved. A task and a
challenge that ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik and its partners have mastered successfully. That was essential because
the new unit is due to go online as early
as 2013. n
16 GERMANY Lead story
Bigger,
wider,
better
Extensive industrial areas are to be developed and the
port on the River Rhine upgraded in order to expand and
consolidate the economic strengths of Andernach.
Its optimum location means that Andernach
benefits from good transport links and
further options in all directions. Through its
central position with respect to Germany’s
industrial regions and the proximity to European export markets, Andernach enjoys excellent links with the national road network.
Another advantage is the Rhine, Europe’s
most important inland waterway. The port
at Andernach, an efficient logistics centre
handling almost 3 million tonnes (2008), is
the largest port in the middle stretch of the
river. Containers are becoming more and
more important alongside the loading and
unloading of bulk goods and general cargo.
Thanks to the large storage areas that can
be provided clear of any floodwaters in the
new part of the port, this port is regarded
as a safe trans-shipment centre for highquality goods in particular.
GERMANY 17
Sheet pile walls secure the new area
The port basin is 650 m long and has a developed bank length measuring 1065 m for
port operations – 500 m of that with railway
tracks.
Stadtwerke Andernach planned the extension
to the port basin for the existing east and
south quays so that they would match the
north quay. The port basin alongside the
building site is a man-made construction
dating from the 1960s, built in the fluvial
terraces of the Rhine. In terms of regional
geology, the port lies at the north-western
end of the Neuwieder Basin in the floodplain of the Rhine. The make-up of the
natural ground consists of flood sediments
such as loam, sand and gravel. In the vicinity of the south and east quays, also the
port entrance, some 70 and 120 m respectively of new quay wall, supplied by ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik GmbH, was installed
to secure the new port basin. The sheet pile
sections were driven through loose to mediumdense strata with hard spots to reach the
gravels and sands of the fluvial terraces.
Ischebeck TITAN micropiles were used to
tie back the sheet pile wall to the mediumdense gravels of the fluvial terraces, which
were capable of anchoring the tensile forces
involved.
With its attractive, well-developed port on the
Rhine, Andernach can now offer companies
like Rasselstein GmbH (www.rasselstein.com),
part of the ThyssenKrupp Steel AG group,
ideal conditions and development prospects
for the future. n
Some 280 Micropiles in lengths from 17
to 22 m were installed for tying back the
sheet pile wall.

Happier
holidays!
The Feldberger Seenlandschaft district, located in
the south-east of the federal state of MecklenburgWestern Pomerania, on the border with Brandenburg, is the largest in the state in terms of area.
This is where you will find virtually untouched
natural landscapes on the banks of the numerous
lakes between Mecklenburg’s “Lake District” and the
Uckermärkische lakes. In order that tourists can
reach their destinations among the 1000+ lakes in
this region, a number of infrastructure improvement
projects have already been carried out.
In 2009 some 2000 tonnes of permanent sheet steel pile walls supplied by ThyssenKruppp GfT Bautechnik GmbH, Rostock Branch,
were driven into place by local civil engineering contractors in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for stabilising banks, creating inland
ports, in bridge and road works and for retaining walls.
The scope of supply also included the anchorages, steel beams,
walings and cappings required. In order to improve durability and
for visual reasons, colour finishes or screens were provided where
this was desired or necessary.
These measures, partially expedited and subsidised by Development Programme I, have enabled the infrastructure in the holiday
region of “Meck-Pomm”, as it is affectionately known, to be improved
further, to the benefit of the many tourists. For Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has in the meantime become one of the most popular holiday destinations in Germany.
GERMANY 19
Three examples of these projects
• The new approx. 120 m long quay wall at the monastery in Malchow
(Fleesen Lake) as a berth for shipping
•
The stabilisation and renewal of Luziner Dam in Feldberg by means of sheet pile walls anchored at the base of the dam
•
The reconstruction of the north port
in Wiek on the island of Rügen to form a marina for yachts and plea-
sure craft
Pressing in the sheet piles simultaneously
on both sides of the dyke in Feldberg
enabled the work to be completed over
just three weekends.
Materials
approx. 1000 t HOESCH sheet pile walls
sections H 1605 to H 2605 or L703K,
L703 and L602; S270 GP/S355 GP;
length: 7–13 m, ASF anchors, walings,
equipment
Installation plant
Z/U pile-supported press, pressing
force up to 100 tonnes for Feldberg;
MÜLLER MS-16 HFV vibrator with
MS-A 420 kW power pack for Malchow;
Liebherr LRB 125 piling/drilling rig with
15 m leader and PVE 2323 V for Wiek
Just these three projects alone required some 1000 tonnes of
HOESCH sheet pile walls with round steel tie rods from ASF Anton
Schmoll GmbH and drilled anchors from Ischebeck.
Quay wall in Malchow and dam structure in Feldberg
HOESCH H 2505, H 2605, H 1805 and H 1605 Z-sections, in lengths
from 7.00 to 11.80 m, were installed for the quay wall in Malchow
and the dam structure in Feldberg. Because of the neighbouring buildings and loose to medium-dense sands, the sheet piles had to be
driven individually; Z-sections were specified and ordered.
At the Feldberg dam structure the driving of the piles was carried out
parallel to the dam with two Giken ZU 100 presses simultaneously.
In order to minimise interruptions to road traffic, pile installation was
carried out at the weekends only. Some 330 tonnes of HOESCH sections were installed over just three weekends in November 2009. The
client, Neustrelitz Roads Department, was therefore highly satisfied.
Pressing a sheet pile wall into the
ground at the base of the dyke.
Afterwards, the anchors were installed: 20 round steel tie rods,
3¾ inch dia., grade S355J2, supplied by ASF Anton Schmoll GmbH.
They were supplied in two pieces with turnbuckles, in some sections
installed transverse to the dam in temporary lined excavations.
The advantages of the 575 series
compared with the new, wider 700 piles
with LARSSEN interlock:
• In the case of finger-first driving it is not necessary to fill the interlocks in order to minimise friction
• HSP GM lubricant is all that is
needed, and that only where
required
• The easily pressed Z-sections
(H 1605 to H 2605)
> possess adequate stiffness,
> require less skin friction, and
> require less toe pressure
due to the pile-supported Giken ZU
100 press
•
The high tensile and compressive strength of the finger-and-socket interlock prevents declutching in the event of loading
• Z-sections from HOESCH are readily
available; orders for rolling approx. 250–300 tonnes and more can be supplied within four weeks

PLAIN ECONOMICS –
VIBRATORY DRIVING
Vibrating the sheet piles into position for the
quay wall in Malchow.
Quay wall at Malchow Monastery
In the case of the quay wall at Malchow Monastery, the 210 tonnes
of H 2506 sections were able to be crimped and delivered as
double piles following test driving of single and double piles with
vibration measurements.
It was possible to switch from pressing to the more economic vibratory driving for the installation of the piles.
Thanks to resonance-free starting and stopping plus frequency and
amplitude control, the MÜLLER vibrator works with low vibrations.
The oscillation velocities measured were < 1 mm/s in all three axes
(3 mm/s is regarded as a limit according to DIN 4150-3).
The quay wall was anchored with Ischebeck Titan micropiles.
This solution was proposed and carried out as an alternative to
the Suspa 6-4 strand anchors following test loads on three in situ
piles. The subsequent pressure grouting originally specified proved
to be unnecessary because Titan micropiles are self-drilling, are
inserted together with a drilling fluid – and therefore need no
casing – and are grouted dynamically.
After supplying the capping for the top of the sheet pile wall and
the 50 kN bollards (13 pcs.) made from GG-25, the on-site works
could be successfully concluded.
GERMANY 21
SECURELY ANCHORED:
WIEK MARINA
Wiek marina on the island of Rügen
The reconstruction of the marina in Wiek on the island of Rügen was
carried out mainly with the extremely economic L703K and L703
sections in the form of double bearing piles – making up a total of
about 400 tonnes of steel sheet pile walls. The piles were vibrated
into place from a pontoon using a leader-mounted vibrator. Both
round steel tie rods and Ischebeck Titan 40/16 micropiles were used
for anchoring the old sheet pile wall.
A National Technical Approval has been available for the Ischebeck
Titan micropiles since April 2008. At the breakwaters the tops of the
sheet piles were finished with a 12 mm steel capping and at the
quay wall a 150 mm thick precast concrete capping.
This form of construction has already proved its worth in many ports
around the lagoons bordering the Baltic Sea and is preferred by the
IWR design office based in Rostock-Bentwisch.

These projects in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania once again
confirm the good economics, reliability and durability of sheet pile
walls. We would like to thank the clients, planners and contractors
who recognised and exploited these advantages. n

assignment
“International Village” is currently the largest geothermal
boreholes project in Europe. This housing complex with
maximum energy efficiency uses renewable energy in the
form of heat from underground. ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik and Hütte Bohrtechnik are capable partners who
have made decisive contributions to the progress of this
project.
“International Village” is one of the first construction projects of its kind in Kosovo and
is being brought to fruition in collaboration
with the authorities in Pristina. It consists of
109 housing units and a large leisure complex with fitness centres, tennis courts,
swimming pools, playgrounds and many
other facilities.
The various houses, with floor areas of 419,
325 und 261 m², all have energy-efficient
heating, cooling and hot-water systems that
use renewable geothermal energy. Boreholes
coupled with heat pumps are being used for
this project. The borehole installations plus
the PE connecting pipes are provided by
Megaterm, a local contractor. It is thanks to
the assistance of ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik and Hütte Bohrtechnik that Megaterm is able to carry out this unique project.

TIME-SAVINGS AND NO PROBLEMS:
GEOTHERMAL BOREHOLES WITH THE HBR 205 GT
A total of 255 boreholes with depths between
70 and 130 m (a total of 24 000 m) must
be drilled – no problem for an HBR 205 GT.
The work is being carried out at a remarkable
pace: approx. 2200 m every month.
Vertical boreholes have to be drilled for the
geothermal installations. A double rotary
head drilling method is being used. This is a
special method in which two contra-rotating
drilling units are mounted piggyback. The
front drilling unit drives the outer pipe (protective casing), the rear one the inner pipe.
The HBR 205 GT was specially designed
for drilling boreholes for geothermal installations. It can be used on confined sites
and in difficult geological situations.
The advantages of this system are obvious
and can be found on page 31 together with
the technical data. n
24 WORLDWIDE Projects
The HBR 205 GT has already been used to provide the
offices at ThyssenKrupp’s headquarters with an
energy-efficient heating system.
The “International Village” project is expected to be
completed by April 2010.
The standard equipment of the HBR 205 GT
includes all the components needed for optimum execution of the largest geothermal
borehole project in Europe. In addition,
custom drilling equipment can be supplied to
ensure a complete drilling system from one
supplier.
ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik is not only the
sales partner of Hütte Bohrtechnik. In January work began on the new ThyssenKrupp
headquarters building, once again using an
HBR 205 GT. A total of 30 boreholes 100 m
deep will in the future extract heat from the
ground for efficient space heating and hotwater provision.

ski jump
The Asian Winter Games are multinational contests for various winter sports
disciplines between competitors from Asian countries. They are modelled on
the Olympic Games and in 2011 will be held in Almaty in Kazakhstan.
Hardly any spectators are aware of the lengthy preparations and amount of building work involved beforehand, but without them there wouldn’t be any games.
In order that all the competitors can participate as planned in Almaty, Kazakhstan,
in 2011, ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik has supplied the materials for stabilising
the new ski jump for the Asian Winter Games. ThyssenKrupp partner SpezFundamentStroy is carrying out the stabilising and foundation works on site.
The new ski jump, up to 125 m long and 45 m high, is stabilised by 1200 mm dia.
bored piles 34 m long. This anchorage is essential for guaranteeing the safety of
the competitors. Besides the ski jump itself, the 20 m high judges box had to be
founded on bored piles and all the mountain slopes stabilised with Ischebeck
anchors.
Both the mountainside and the landing zone had to be secured with concrete
piles and grouted anchors in various lengths; the total length of anchors installed
to date is about 20 000 m! Two Casagrande B 135s, a Hütte HBR 609 and an
ABI TM 16/20 were in use on site. ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik was responsible for supplying the anchors and all the plant. n

Despite the economic crisis, tough competition and the Russian government’s
preference for sourcing sheet piles in Russia, ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik
still won the contract to supply the materials for extending the Baltic Sea port
at Ust-Luga. This success can be attributed to our long-standing partnership
with the Russian contractor OAO “PST” and the project institute ZAO “GT Morstroj”.
The sheet pile walls were made available within a very short time so that the
“YUG 2” project could begin.
“YUG 2” is the name of the project to build a universal terminal for handling
ro-ro goods, including the importing of cars and containers. Once finished,
the terminal will be able to handle up to 4.6 million tonnes of goods annually,
which means 450 000 new car imports every year.
It will be the first ro-ro terminal in Russia that complies with the latest worldwide standards. The terminal is expected to become operational in 2012. n

Double rotary head
drilling
Vertical boreholes with depths of just a few metres
to more than 300 are essential for installing the
equipment necessary for extracting geothermal
energy from the ground. The double rotary head
drilling method is the unrivalled state of the art
for drilling such boreholes. And now ultraflexible drilling rigs are setting new standards.
In Germany the Renewable Energy Heat Act has been in force since
1 January 2009. It specifies that by the year 2020 at the latest some
14% of heating requirements in Germany must be met by renewable energy sources. That helps the environment and is intended
to reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gases so damaging to
our climate. Up to EUR 500 million will be available up until 2012
for promoting heating systems based on geothermal energy.
The economic superiority of geothermal energy compared to conventional systems is obvious. The source will not dry up for millions
of years. Geothermal energy is available the whole year round, is
environmentally friendly, space-saving and free. In addition, heat

Completion on time
The efficiency of the TKB 205 GT has
already been proved in numerous
projects. For example, during the construction of the Hellmann logistics centre
in Osnabrück 16 boreholes 65–102 m
deep were drilled using the double rotary
head method. Owing to the existing geological formation (gravel and sand), the
protective casing (152.4 mm dia.) was
installed over the full depth of 102 m. A
total of 1504 m of borehole were drilled
in about four weeks – right on schedule.
Two TKB 205 GT units with double
rotary head were deployed during the
construction of company premises in
Geisingen in southern Germany in order
to complete the project on time. Some
30 boreholes each 130 m deep were
drilled. As the ground down to a drilling
depth of about 50 m consisted of loose
solid rock, a protective casing with a diameter of 177.8 mm was necessary down
to this level. The project was completed
successfully in just 15 days.
No more than two operatives are
needed to operate the TKB 205 GT and
TKB 204 GT drilling rigs.
The advantages at a glance
• No-risks borehole drilling thanks to installation of protective casing over full depth of borehole (guaranteed by the high torque of up to 28 000 Nm)
• Controlled spoil removal through the confined annular space between inner and outer pipes plus optimised blow-
out preventer technology
• Verticality of boreholes guaranteed
by accurate drilling thanks to contra-
rotating inner and outer pipes
• Optimum adaptation of drilling system to suit the particular geological condi-
tions through the forward/backward creep of the inner with respect to the outer annular drill bit (400 mm relative displacement of the two drilling units)
• Boreholes can be drilled in any type of geology even with the standard plant setup with its double rotary head drilling unit
• Reliable removal of the protective casing with the drilling rig thanks to its 20 tonne line pull
• The new floating shaft, which is inte-
grated into the rotary head drilling unit, protects the thread during installation and removal of the drill pipe
pumps require little maintenance and have a
long life expectancy. It is no wonder that the
shallow geothermal energy sector is experiencing above-average growth rates.
The most common form of extracting geothermal energy is via boreholes. These vertical
boreholes can vary in depth from just a few
metres to more than 300. The double rotary
head drilling method, a special technique in
which two contra-rotating drilling units are
mounted piggyback, is used to drill the boreholes. The lower drilling unit installs the outer
pipe (protective casing), the upper drilling unit
installs the inner pipe.
Ultra-flexible drilling rigs
The TKB 205 GT and TKB 204 GT drilling units
were specially designed for the double rotary
head drilling method. These units can even be
used in the most cramped conditions and in
difficult ground. To prevent any damage to the
ground surface, rubber shoes are fitted to the
caterpillar tracks. Where softer ground is encountered, e.g. lawns, protective plates can be
laid as well. Thanks to the pipe magazine, a
standard fitting, and the optimum handling of
the plant by remote control, only two operatives
are needed to operate the plant and carry out
the drilling work.
The standard equipment of the TKB 205 GT
and TKB 204 GT includes all the components
needed for optimum execution of geothermal
boreholes: rubber-shoed caterpillar tracks,
drilling rig with 20 and 15.7 tonne line pull respectively, double rotary head, 2/3-way clamping and braking device, blowout preventer,
pipe magazine, remote/cable control, flushing
pumps, cable winch with winding tower, oiler.
In addition, custom drilling equipment can be
supplied to ensure a complete drilling system
from one supplier.

BAUMA 2010:
The sensation for
specialised civil engineering
Another demonstration of Thyssenkrupp GfT
Bautechnik’s impressive innovative power at
the Bauma – in the shape of the new 683 TP
crawler-mounted telescopic pile driver! The
completely new combination of telescopic
crane and leader is available for all to see
on open-air site F8, block 806A/1.
The 683 TP – a combination of telescopic crane and leader that is
unique in the world. This completely new plant concept was developed
in close cooperation with Sennebogen and the Dutch company
Machinefabriek A. van Hattem & Zoon B.V. A robust design, easyto-control technology, compact dimensions and very fast erection
on site without the need for an auxiliary crane are just some of the
convincing features.
Leaders up to 38 m long can be added as required. With a maximum extraction capacity of 60 t and a maximum load (hammer +
pile) of up to 32 t, the 683 TP is the optimum partner for all customary pile-driving methods. The leader with its lattice boom design is
extremely strong and torsion-resistant, which makes it ideal for civil
engineering operations. Up to four winches can be mounted
directly on the leader with the help of the patented attachment system. The reinforced telescopic boom has been specially designed
for extreme loads, which it easily withstands. The necessary stability during operations is ensured by the 3.90 m hydraulically extendable undercarriage with B7 gauge crawler tracks combined with a
strong rear-end pad cylinder.
PLANT NEWS 33
The 683 TP is a smart and economical combination of two machines in one. Equipped
with a complete crane safety system, it
quickly and reliably handles any lifting task
on site. Within just a few hours the machine
can be converted from a specialised civil
engineering device to a fully functional telescopic crane. The two-part telescopic boom
enables crane operations with loads of up to
80 t. In combination with the fly jib a length
of up to 34.8 m is possible. A very economical and flexible solution for more efficiency
on site.
The new maXcab spacious, comfortable
cabin with sliding door and sideward tilting
option provides a perfect view of the working area. Ergonomic controls, a functional
design and integrated automatic air-conditioning ensure comfortable, fatigue-free
working. The powerful 186 kW TIER III technology diesel engine provides all the power
needed for most jobs. A 700 kW power
pack, attached with the help of an optional
frame, is available for handling large vibro
hammers. The 683 TP – a combination of
telescopic crane and leader that is unique in
the world!
Besides this amazing innovation, ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik will be presenting the
latest developments in MÜLLER vibrators
plus the new aluminium Strongbox panels
for lightweight trench lining and other new
technologies.

The newly conceived ThyssenKrupp website
at www.tkgftbautechnik.de will be launched
to coincide with this year’s Bauma. The
fresh design with its clearly structured page
layout and the logical sorting of the links
ensure that users need only the minimum
number of clicks to reach the information
they are looking for. Further new features:
the online “used plant lot” offering a wide
range of construction plant, the worldwide
search function for building technology
specialists or the website search function to
help users target and retrieve the up-to-date
information they need for their projects.
A more modern design was not the only reason for revamping the website together with
Internet agency eclore.de. The new website
means that it is now possible to provide
even more details on products and services
for the building sector. This is because it is
now possible for any member of the ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik staff to produce graphics, articles and links independently, without having to rely on Internet specialists.
Information can now be updated without
delay, which guarantees a fast news turnover All documents can be called up in
German and English and Russian and other
languages are in preparation. The search
function enables data to be located in Word,
Excel and PDF formats as well.
As a new feature on our website, eclore.de
has set up an online “used plant lot”. “The
days when an inquirer had to order a CD
from ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik in order
to find out which plant was currently on sale
are now over. The new tool enables anybody to call up detailed information on the
condition and functions of any piece of
plant. More photos are now available. And
everything 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. “It is easy to inquire online about
purchase, hire or availability options that
can be answered by the Sales Department”,
enthuses Martin Goeser, owner of eclore.de.
The “used plant lot” currently contains more
than 300 items. A new contact form has
been set up to enable you to contact our
worldwide Sales Department, which can provide support for the planning of your projects.
Together with eclore.de, further new features,
e.g. combined information from ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik and the ThyssenKrupp
Group, press cuttings on ThyssenKrupp GfT
Bautechnik and a calendar with the most important trade fairs for this sector, will be implemented soon. A newsletter tool will also be
integrated. Another highlight is the virtual site
visit based on Google systems. Using photos
and 3D data, this will enable the progress of
projects to be followed online.
Martin Goeser has this to say about the
interim results of the website project: “The
relaunch shows the opportunities open to
companies who employ a properly conceived
Internet concept. The customer can be
addressed more directly and obtain information more easily. That means added value
for both sides.” n
IN BRIEF 35
As you like it!
Do our readers like the new layout? Can they find
all the information they need? In the 02/2009 issue
we asked you for your opinion of the new-look
“die bautechnik”. We would like to thank you for
the many replies and for the interesting answers.
More than 100 “die bautechnik” readers
responded to our poll and it seems that
two-thirds of all issues are read by between
two and five people; indeed, one-quarter of
those who replied said that more than five
people read their copy of “die bautechnik”.
That means our readership is much larger
than the number of copies printed. The
results of the survey are very positive. More
than 60% of all those asked rate the new
layout as “very good”.
Especially helpful for the editorial team were
the answers to the question as to which
content is most interesting for our readers.
It appears that an absolute majority, about
80%, is especially interested in reading
about solutions to problems! Reports on projects in Germany, product innovations and
plant news are also very popular. Our readers also expect more detailed information.
More than 50% would like to learn more
about product features and advantages.
In addition, just under half of all those who
replied would like more data, technical information and technical drawings.
Subjects such as the economic background
and subsoil conditions are among the additional information that readers would like to see.
If you are interested in finding out more
about the answers and issues raised by our
poll, please contact the editorial team. We
shall continue working on our magazine and
incorporate the opinions, requests and suggestions of our readers in the coming issues.
After all, “die bautechnik” is not a static
product, but rather a dynamic project that
continues to evolve, that must continue to
remain exciting.
We are sincerely grateful to you, the reader,
for your support and are always pleased to
hear your views.
His views have made him the winner of our
poll: Alfred Schmottlach from Waldeck can
now look forward to a shiatsu massage
cushion for his office chair. So he can simply
sit back and relax while thumbing through
this and many more issues of our customer
magazine... n
