HIDTMA in competition with another 14 bids presented by leading companies in Environmental Engineering, was the successful bidder for the provision of TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE PREPARATION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY OF THE NEW RO-RO RAMPS AND BERTHING LINE FOR THE FISHING PORT of the VIGO PORT AUTHORITY.
The work to be analysed consists of the modification of the external face of the fishing Pier, for the purposes of making it dockable, and the construction by phases, in different areas of the Bouzas dock, of 72.00 m2 by way of 3 new Ro-Ro ramps.
The Ría de Vigo is an area of high environmental interest and therefore any action taken is subject to considerable monitoring. For the more expeditious achievement of the objective, as part of the Assistance, significant attention will be paid not only to the competent official bodies, but also to other environmental institutions and organisations, citizens and companies.
To guarantee the technical quality of the work, HIDTMA will bring its experience, from over 20 years, in the preparation of Environmental Impact Studies for ports.
The following aspects, considered to be of greatest relevance, will be handled through the execution of specific studies such as: Hidrodynamics, Evolution of water quality, Water renewal, Dispersal and sedimentation of dredging material, Maritime Climate and Wave Agitation, Impact on the coast, Atmospheric contamination, Noise and Light pollution, Visual impact and Socioeconomic Impact.
