Project Overview: Infrastructure Upgrades NQBP Wharft 3&5 Remediation

North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation is the only port authority in the world managing three major ports in a world heritage area and they are committed to minimising any adverse impacts to the environment from their port operations.

Various repairs were required at wharves 3 and 5 at NQBP’s Port of Mackay operations, Queensland’s fourth largest multi-commodity port by throughput. The port operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and extends over 800ha of land and water.

To significantly extend the wharves’ service life, we repaired the existing pile wrapping system, applied a new silane coating to the wharf deck, soffit and concrete fender panels. We also performed concrete repair and installed sacrificial anodes.

Project highlights included:

• We conducted a comprehensive survey at the commencement of project to quantify the repairs

• Remedial works were carried out to suit the port’s shipping schedule and tidal changes.
