Breakwater

The New Open-Sea Breakwater takes shape as the fast-paced construction of the caissons takes off, with the near-completion of the first of 100 caissons set to form the 6,200 metre port facility.

The construction of the first of 100 caissons, which will form Genoa’s New Open-Sea Breakwater, takes shape on board the “Dario” floating dock positioned in the Port of Vado Ligure.

As works for the construction of the Port of Genoa's New Breakwater proceed underwater, measures are taken to safeguard in full the marine ecosystem.

Genoa's New Breakwater begins to take shape in the open-sea, with 1 million tons of gravel deposited on the seabed. Construction works proceed on schedule.

Work continues offshore on the New Genoa Breakwater, with the second block of columns under construction and 600,000 tons of gravel already deposited on the seabed.

The construction of the 850 columns is in its final stages, with a total of 370,000 tons of gravel laid on the seabed. Work on the second block of columns is now set to commence.

An underwater search for unexploded ordnances along the seabed, up to 50 metres in depth, has begun at Genoa's new open-sea breakwater site, in conjunction with a team of eight highly-experienced divers.
