FCC has launched the first caisson, named
Ana Cristina, which was executed for the
Mar de Enol Floating Dyke at Isla Verde at
the Algeciras Harbour. Pablo Roza, a mem-
ber of the FCC team who works at the Açu
Port project in Brazil contacted the Commu-
nications Network to share with FCC emplo-
yees these aerial photos of the launching of
the first caisson.
The Mar de Enol floating dyke was inaugura-
ted at this project following a major transfor-
mation process of a floating platform which
was towed from Japan, into a caisson ma-
nufacturing machine.
The assembly of the umbrella and climbing
systems was performed at Puerto de Santa
María (Cadiz) by the FCC Central Machinery
Park team. Once the work was completed,
it was towed to Algeciras for building the
caissons that were shipped to Brazil in a se-
mi-submergible vessel in early April to help
the Mar de Aneto dyke complete the main
seawall at Terminal TX-1 in Açu Port.
The manufacturing of these two caissons
served a double purpose; to test the machi-
ne during the manufacturing phase, and to
gain useful experience for its implementation
in Brazil without delays or uncertainties.
