TYPSA started its activities in the ports and coast field in 1976 with the execution of a variety of engineering design studies in Puerto Plata, Dominican Repubic. Since then, the company has expanded its activities in the development and modernization of important ports and coastal areas, both in Spain and abroad.
The range of services in this field of activity is as complete as required by the complexity of the sea nature and by the functional, social and economic attributes of port environments as well as by land management issues in coastal environments. It covers port planning studies, maritime climate studies, dock water roughness studies, design of docks and wharfs, environmental impact studies, strategic and economic studies, and port planning, management and control services.
With regard to coastal development, in addition to general studies conducted in conjunction with port studies, TYPSA's experience also reaches a variety of fields of specialization in this area, especially environmental related issues, Master plans, eco-cartographic studies, etc. |
Master Plan for Coastal Sustainable Management. Batch 3. Júcar River Basin district
 TYPSA collaborates with the Ministry of Environment’s Coastal Management Office to elaborate the Master Plan for Coastal Sustainable Management in the section corresponding to the Júcar River Basin district.
The Spanish coast currently faces challenges resulting from:
- Pressure to make use, and overall occupation, of the main natural coastal formations, which has made many of them disappear or has inflicted serious damage, often irreversible, upon many coastal and marine ecosystems.
- Climate change effects, which in a few decades will make disappear or drastically reduce the width of most beaches, and will eventually cause important damage to most of the coast’s urban façades.
The issue of integrating all coastal interventions can be resolved with what is called “coastal areas integral management (GIZC)”, which is the European Union’s preferred policy to tackle coastal challenges. |
Technical Assistance in Works-Execution Control for fhe Expansion of Gijón's Port
 The port of Gijón is located on the Cantabrian coast, an area with important settlements and of great commercial and industrial activity. Its proximity to other European countries’ northern coasts grants the port a strategic location, also reinforced by the fact that Gijón is an area easy to access and to anchor for vessels departing to America.
For all these reasons, expansion works are being carried out at the port, in which TYPSA is involved as selected subcontractor in technical assistance to works control and surveillance, for a fee of 6.2 million euros in a 4-year-term.
Key data:
- Seawall length 3,834 m.
- Tower dyke length 1,488 m.
- Northern dyke length 1,530 m.
- Baffle wall length 816 m.
- Northern wharf length 1,250 m.
- Length of Inferior batters 1,800 m.
- Dock drafts -20.00 and –27.00 m.
- Land area 145 Ha.
- Dock area 140 Ha.
