Case Study: Bohlen Doyen’s Tidal Project with E.On and National Grid

Project Overview: 

Bohlen Doyen, tasked with a significant tidal project for end contractors E.On and National Grid, faced the unique challenge of installing a grid electricity cable that stretched offshore from Belgium. The operation’s success hinged on the strategic use of a large number of bog mats, essential for managing the project’s distinctive environmental challenges.

Challenges:

The project’s coastal location meant that tidal movements could potentially displace the bog mats, necessitating a solution that could withstand the forces of nature while ensuring the continuity of work. Moreover, the project demanded a high volume of mats, rapid delivery to the site, and frequent realignment due to the tidal water’s influence. The mats needed to be laid out and anchored securely, all while causing minimal disruption to the ongoing work and staff operations.

Solutions:

To address these challenges, a comprehensive plan was developed to deploy a large quantity of durable bog mats rapidly. These mats were engineered to be easily realignable, accommodating the project’s dynamic nature without significant interference with the project’s progress or the staff’s activities. The execution involved precise coordination and timing to ensure the mats were delivered and installed in alignment with the tidal schedules, ensuring the project’s seamless continuation.

Key Highlights:

– Rapid Response and Delivery: Successfully met the project’s urgent need for a high quantity of bog mats, demonstrating the capability to quickly mobilize resources.

– Adaptability to Environmental Challenges: Implemented a flexible solution that allowed for the frequent realignment of mats in response to tidal movements, ensuring the project’s infrastructure remained secure and undisturbed.

– Minimal Operational Disruption: Achieved the project’s requirements with little to no interference with the ongoing work and staff, ensuring that the critical infrastructure project progressed efficiently and safely.
