CARMELO DOCK

Location: Colonia, Uruguay
Owner: National Hydrography Administration (DNH)
Builder: SACEEM
Year: 2011

This work includes a dock for sports boats, with its corresponding launching ramp.

The dock is a gravity dock, built with precast caissons. As the bed is a rocky bottom, very firm, the caissons rest directly on the rock. For this, the lower edge of these caissons was built following the geometry surveyed from the bottom.
