New dredging sensors at work in Port of Esbjerg

Author:Karina Lumholt

Esbjerg Port, once the principal fishing harbour of Denmark, has today become the Danish capital of oil and gas and Europe’s leading port for shipping of off-shore wind turbines to the North Sea.

Esbjerg社区目前正在扩大新的城市区域和码头，目的是使公民更好地进入Esbjerg吸引人的海洋和海滩地区。新的城市空间将在市中心和港口区域之间建立密切联系，并建立一个海上休闲活动以及新的商业和居民区的中心。

计划是create a new harbour lagoon with marina, new beach area, and eventually plan for a hotel and an art museum在新的半岛上。

机器控制可视化挖掘机在水下的工作

VG Entreprenør / S,建筑公司交货pertise in all types of coastal area projects, started working on the project this summer and is planned to terminate by the end of 2018. The company has specialised in coastal protection as well as harbour and port installations. In Esbjerg harbour, their primary job is excavating and stone work on dikes and piers. Claus Agger Sørensen works as the daily manager on the project. Claus prepares the drawings, orders stones, calculates the volumes, allocates resources and manages the overall logistics.

“目前，我们有四个在网站上工作的挖掘机，并且所有挖掘机都配备了Leica Geosystems的机器控制，”Claus explains.“我们曾经使用浮子，浮标和木桩来测量和控制水下的发掘。通过机器控制，当在木制内面板上可视化水下的实际挖掘时，它变得容易得多。”

Construction of stone piers starts with the drawing of its layers. Claus draws the profiles in AutoCad. The layers are made up by a core of sand or stones, a layer of smaller filter stones, a filtration fabric and a layer of larger stones on the top. Each layer has a profile file that is read into the iCON office software where they are converted into 3D models, terrain files and line files and then read into the machine control solutions on the machines. This is done through the web-based serviceLeica ConX。

“ Leica Conx工具使我可以同时进行多个项目。”克劳斯说。“我可以在我在Esbjerg工作的同时，在该国另一部分进行的项目。”

Claus is also using the automatic logging of the work tocreate as-built documentation。

MSS420挖泥传感器

石墩的建造是VGEntreprenør的市场利基市场。它需要专门的机器操作员，他们具有构建所有层的技能和经验，并使用挖掘机将它们作为拼图拼图编织在一起。

几个月来，VGEntreprenør与新的合作Leica MSS420 dredging sensors并从新的水下应用的优势中受益。新的挖泥传感器具有压力紧密的连接器，可靠的不锈钢传感器支架和坚固的电缆。这种特殊设计可确保传感器的寿命更长。

“We are working in a very rough environment with stones, wind and weather. Especially salt water is very hard on the equipment. We are also working on a very tight schedule on this project, and we simply cannot afford long downtime on machines. The Leica MSS420 sensor helps us keep the machines up and running for the planned operations,”Claus continues.

挖掘机和车轮装载机解决方案的产品专家Marcus Grevelshoej预计，新的Leica MSS420疏and传感器将在许多建筑项目中都非常有用港口深化，挖掘电缆水下，港口装置，沿海保护，变性和在原材料湖泊中进行挖掘。

“The MSS420 sensor can be programmed to boom 1, boom 2, stick, bucket and even tilt sensor. This makes the changing of sensors very easy, even for less experienced operators on the construction site,”马库斯说。

All excavators equipped with iCON excavate and GNSS can easily be updated to use the new submersible sensors.
