Point Wilson Waterside Infrastructure Remediation.
Point Wilson Waterside Infrastructure Remediation. Construction by Brady Marine & Civil of a 2.3km approach jetty and 130m jetty head.
The Point Wilson Waterside Infrastructure Remediation was a project to rebuild an existing jetty used for the loading and unloading of explosive ordnance for the Department of Defence. Brady were engaged by Managing Contractor CPB Contractors to undertake the reconstruction of the 2.3 km jetty and the demolition and replacement of the 130m wharf, including 3 mooring dolphins.
Originally constructed in 1961, Point Wilson is a dedicated explosives storage facility near Geelong in Victoria.
The scope of works for Brady Marine & Civil included:
- Demolition of 185 spans of existing 2.3km jetty and remediation of existing steel piles
- Installation of new pile sleeves and headstocks to 370 piles
- Installation of new deck superstructure featuring fabricated steel girders and precast concrete deck panels
- Demolition of existing 130m wharf including extraction and removal of existing piles
- Installation of 110 nos new piles including reinforced concrete sockets in bedrock.
- Installation of precast concrete decking and cast in-situ topping slabs.
- Fitting of fenders and wharf furniture
Special Features
7 large construction barges were utilised for up to 2 years to enable works to proceed on a number of different work fronts.
The design and supply of a bespoke “c-hook” lifting frame facilitated the safe removal of existing wharf slabs while providing complete containment of slurry run-off from the concrete sawing operation.
All demolition material was returned to shore for onward transport to a concrete recycling plant for crushing and recycling of concrete and reinforcing steel.
