Customer context
Hakkers is specialised in the delivery of waterproof works and anchors.
Hakkers was commissioned to build a quay wall for the Port of Rotterdam.
The challenge
Quay walls are retaining structures along ports, rivers, or canals, providing stability for vessels to berth safely. Anchors, drilled deep beneath the wall, secure and reinforce these critical structures. Although largely hidden from view, anchoring is vital to preventing movement or collapse under heavy loads and tidal forces.
The challenge was to reduce the carbon footprint of the anchors, while ensuring that the quay wall remains stable.
Our approach
Hakkers used Paebbl as an additional material for the anchors.
Paebbl's material has enabled a 30% embodied CO₂ reduction for the grout body, while showing the same constructive properties as regular cement. It is something Hakkers had never achieved with any other product.
