Caisson
Shoreline's marine construction team are busy casting
N$ 5 Mil Caisson on the dry dock in Walvis Bay
This 1000T structure is designed to float. Only 1m
of the structure will be visible above sea level during
the floating process
A tug boat will tow the watertight Caisson to its final
resting place near Wlotzkasbaken
The Caisson will be sunk in 10m deep water ±
1.3 km into the sea from the shoreline's high water
mark
Once sunk, it will serve as an anchor block and intake
filter system for the desalination pipelines
