Good progress continues to be made on the Seaview Wharf upgrade, with piling installation well underway.
The Brian Perry Civil (BPC) team is carrying out the piling work, fitting in around shipping with work having to pause while a fuel tanker is at berth.
Two piles have been completed to the rear of the amenities building and two piles at the northern berthing dolphin. The team is on track to have two more piles completed by Christmas.
Work will soon begin removing the concrete deck from parts of the main wharf extensions. This will allow the team to transfer the piling rig off the barge and onto the wharf deck in the new year, to carry out piling for the southern berthing dolphin. The weight of the rig means temporary works need to be installed on the deck of the wharf to spread the load so the team can operate it safely, without damaging the wharf structure.
The walkways being installed under the wharf to allow access to the raker piles are almost complete. The team is working with fabricators to make the clamps to fix to the raker piles. The clamps are due on site just before Christmas, which will enable installation to start in the new year.
