Sønderborg QUAYSIDE ROAD IN SØNDERBORG, DENMARK – 2000
Quay extension
Sønderborg are situated in the south eastern corner of Jutland close to the German boarder. Als is Denmark's 7th largest island and is connected to the mainland by two bridges in Sønderborg. Als Sound slices the town in half and separates Jutland from Als. Sønderborg are grown around the fortress built in the 11-1200s and the city celebrates its 750 anniversary in 2006. The quayside road, Havnegade, in Sønderborg Harbour needed to be renewed. Traffic load on the road has increased and the road needed to be renovated. The old quarry run was removed and a new quay construction was established. The old bulkhead was exchanged with new steel sheet piling and a new pine deal bulkhead. To reduce the pressure on the harbour bottom and the new steel sheet piling Leca® light filling 10 - 20 mm was installed. Calculations showed that installation of normal weight gravel would give unacceptable settings of the quayside road. On top of the Leca light filling layer the quay road construction was established.
