Advanced have recently supplied both the D400 and E600 loading EasyPIT® duct chamber system and associated fabricated steel access covers and frames to contractor C A Blackwell at Alexandra Docks, Port of Hull.

Engineering giant, Siemens, has chosen the Port of Hull as the location to build its world-class offshore wind turbine manufacturing facility.

Preparing this site has required C A Blackwell to infill one third of Hull's Alexandra Dock with 780,000m³ of material, to create a new 650m quay wall to accomodate 3 offshore wind turbine installation vessels as well as the removal of redundant site apparatus, bulk earthworks and the creation of a capping layer to provide a strong foundation for the new facility.
