Located along the eastern edge of the Indian Ocean, Myanmar boasts an extensive coastline that makes maritime transport a cornerstone of its international trade. In addition to the major Yangon Port, other key hubs like Pathein, Mawlamyine, and Sittwe play essential roles in the country's growing port network. With ongoing demand for port infrastructure development, TECON is proud to support a new jetty pier project in Myanmar.
Project Overview:
Project Type: Jetty Pier Construction
Location: Myanmar
Formwork Systems Used: TECON Base 20 Wall Formwork & Slab Flex 20 Formwork
Formwork Area: 500 m² (Base 20) and 2,400 m² (Flex 20)
Project Status: Ongoing
One of the major technical challenges of this project stems from its proximity to open water. Several structural components are exposed directly to seawater, making material durability and corrosion resistance critical design factors. To meet these conditions, TECON opted for aluminium beams and plastic boards instead of traditional timber beams and plywood—greatly enhancing the lifespan of the formwork under harsh marine conditions.
TECON’s solution was developed through close collaboration between its technical and commercial teams. Multiple online meetings were held with the client to fully understand the scope and requirements of the project. This allowed us to craft a proposal that balanced high performance, safety, and cost control.
Engineers from TECON carried out rigorous structural design and load calculations in accordance with European standards. By strategically optimizing the material layout, we ensured that all load-bearing requirements were met while maximizing cost efficiency. This approach delivered both technical reliability and strong economic value for the client.
