The project aims to deliver more ‘sustainable and resilient’ infrastructure.  

For prolonged design life and resiliency, concrete piles will be used to create a corrosion-resistant foundation.

Instead of traditional welded steel wire mesh, a final concrete topping slab will be built utilising synthetic concrete reinforcing fibres.

This will decelerate deterioration, as the reinforcing material will offer a corrosion-proof surface.

The dock will also include a new fender system, which will include an energy-absorbing component for minimising loads.

It will be 1,200ft-long and 130ft-wide, with a 152ft-wide middle section.

Concrete piles, cast-in-place concrete caps and beams, pre-cast concrete deck panels, and a concrete topping slab will be used in the construction of the dock.

McCarthy will deploy all concrete and pile installation, along with utility installation.

This project is said to be the largest of the 20 projects on the Port’s 2022 Capital Improvement Programme.
