Heavy lifting for safe roof installation in Dubai |
 |
Al Khaleej Sugar has expanded its storage by building three additional sugar silos in the Dubai Jebel Ali Port Free Zone. VSL played a vital role in reducing the construction period by devising an alternative solution that allowed the preassembled dome-shaped roofs to be raised 70m into position in a single day. |

Synthetic resin to protect Ponte da Vagueira |
 |
Repairs to the Vagueira Bridge, Portugal, are giving it a new lease of life. The three-span concrete structure provides access to the beaches of Vagueira and is exposed to aggressive weather conditions. VSL recommended an alternative approach for concrete protection. This involves covering the entire 6,000m² surface with a special thick mortar using a flexible synthetic resin. |
