Walraven was contacted very early in this project to help with the configuration and provide materials.
A new 230-meter-long zigzag pier has been constructed in Haffkrug on the Baltic Sea. It features a modern design with a strong emphasis on sustainability. The challenge was to connect the event venue, designed as a ‘weather shelter’, to the water and electric network with materials that could resist the extreme conditions that being next to the sea could provide. The venue should have been suitable for weddings and other gatherings and equipped with catering facilities and restrooms.
Walraven’s expert advice is to use A4 stainless steel products to enhance durability, addressing the challenges posed by the salty and corrosive marine environment. Pressure drainage systems, cables, water pipes, and empty conduits, supplying the hut with essential utilities, will be fixed under the walkway to conceal the installations and ensure a clean and attractive aesthetic.
Due to the special requirements – including the salty, highly corrosive environment and wave action – only A4 stainless steel products were used for fastening under the walkway. Thermal length changes in the pipes due to extreme temperature differences and the length of the pier also had to be considered.
Beyond providing material solutions, Walraven offered comprehensive technical services, including load and expansion calculations for the pressure drainage system and detailed drawings for various fastening configurations.
Walraven utilised RapidStrut® mounting rails, support clamps, heavy-duty clamps, plain bearings, and other mounting accessories from their stainless steel product range to ensure a safe and long-lasting installation. All necessary materials were delivered directly to the construction site.
