Hollow Core Slabs - Application in Marine Environment 1

[STRUKT]

Hi all,

We've been working on a project of a pier slab located in a small harbor to help load and unload fishing boats.
The contractor looks for a precast solutions instead of cast in situ regarding the obvious issues around formwork and reinformcent jobs on a tide zone.
Our main concerns regards the environmental requirements of the precast hollow core system and it's application on marine and costal environments. From our point of view, as structural designers, seems that this kind of system does not suits the requirements in terms of durability imposed by the standards, namely Eurocode.

Have someone any experience on apply this kind of solution in such harsh environmental conditions? What are your thoughts about this?

Thank you,

STRUKT
