A Closer Look at Construction Updates

Modernization work on port de Toulon Darse Nord in June and port de Toulon Darse Nord expected to last two months.
For safety reasons, two 50-meter-long concrete pontoons that had deteriorated significantly over time were dismantled.
The existing structures were first mechanically cut into 32 blocks, each weighing up to 40 metric tons.
As a result, nearly 1,000 metric tons of concrete were transported by sea, demolished on land, and then hauled by truck to an authorized landfill.
In early August, new floating docks will be installed to replace the structures that have been dismantled.
We would like to thank the boaters who were affected by this operation for their understanding and patience.
