Tenders Are Invited For Outer Harbour Sea Wall Design

The Port Requires Key Infrastructure That Will Enable Construction Of New Berths In The Outer Harbor. The Proposed Outer Harbor Berths, Sea Walls, And Associated Dredging And Reclamation, Are Deliverables Under The Broader Port Expansion Project (Pep). Existing Port Boundaries And The Extent Of The Port Expansion Area.The First Step Towards This Was The Channel Upgrade (Cu) Project. This Involved Dredging And Reclamation Works To Widen The 14Km Of Shipping Channel. A 54Ha Reclamation Area Was Created By Constructing 2.2Kms Of Rock Revetment Walls, Completed In 2021. Dredging To Widen The Ports Shipping Channels, And Placement Of 3.6 Million M3 Of Capital Dredge Material, Was Completed In 2024. This Has Enabled Larger Vessels To Enter The Port. The Next Phase Of Development For The Outer Harbour Will Have A Focus On New Berths To Accommodate Larger Vessels. This Involves Construction Of A New Breakwater And New Reclamation Areas. The Breakwater Will Provide Outer Harbour Tranquillity, While The New Reclamation Areas Will Accommodate Dredge Material From New Approach Channels And Berth Pockets. Refer Figure 2.2. The Ports Master Plan Includes Future Berths 12 To 18, And Adjacent Land Development, New Berths Will Allow For Increased Trade And Improve Prosperity To The Region. The New Berths And New Sea Walls Form Part Of The Ports Outer Harbour Development (Ohd). Sea Wall Designs Included In This Scope Of Works Will Need To Be Generally Consistent With The Overall Intent Of The Port Vision. Sea Walls Form Part Of A Staged Approach To Ultimately Achieve The Development Outcomes Under The Port Master Plan.
