Argentina's Port of Quequén Begins Outer Channel Navigation Aid Improvement Project with New 33-Meter Metal Tower

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Argentina's Port of Quequén has recently commenced an improvement project for the outer channel navigation aids, which includes the construction of a new tower to install the rear beacon light. This project stems from the decision by Central Costa Power Company to begin dismantling the chimney of the thermal power plant, where the beacon light is currently installed. This signal is considered a vital marker for vessel navigation and movement in the Port of Quequén.

The new structure is located on land belonging to the port authority, near Diagonal Norte Road and the thermal power plant, to ensure the continuity of the day and night signaling system. The project involves constructing an open metal tower with a square base measuring 3 meters on each side and a total height of 33 meters, composed of columns supported horizontally every 3 meters to provide stability and structural safety. The project also includes a perimeter fence with an access gate and an anti-vandalism metal enclosure to protect the operational area and lighting equipment. In the future, the navigation line for the channel axis will be completed by the new tower and the relocation of the front beacon light, currently on the South Breakwater, to its final position as determined by the Naval Hydrography Service.
