Port of Rodby

Scandlines reached out to Thortech International and enquired for anti-skid surfacing to be applied at the Port of Rodby. We arranged a site visit to Scandlines in Rodby, Denmark to carry out a full site survey. We were honoured to be selected to carry out these works which was decided to be carried out over two phases. The instruction was to remove the existing surface, then supply and lay anti-skid surfacing to Berth 2.

The Port of Rodby predominantly allows ferry crossings between Rodby, Denmark and Germany, allowing ferries to travel to and from Rodby every 30 minutes. Being in constant service the linkspans require a robust anti-skid surface that can withstand large amounts of traffic.

We started the works with the aim to lay a minimum of 250sqm a day. First, we removed the existing surface and then prepared the steel substrate by enclosed shot blasting ensuring the surface was to Swedish Standard SA2.5. Once the steel substrate was prepared, we applied primer followed by the new anti-skid surfacing.

Thortech International completed all the works within the budget and timescale set by Scandlines, enabling them to reopen Berth 2 as planned.
