- Shell Wharf, Pinkenba, Brisbane, Maintenance Program
-
-
Following on from a five to seven-year maintenance program developed by CGR for the Shell Products Wharf at Pinkenba in Brisbane in 1993, our engineers visited the site in 2003 to carry out a further condition survey to establish a maintenance program for the next three years. The structure consists of a T head that supports the liquid lines, two berthing dolphins and two mooring dolphins. The decks are constructed of timber and reinforced concrete and are supported on timber piles.
- Upgrade of Existing Ferry Terminals, Brisbane, Australia
-
-
The Brisbane City Council required maintenance and upgrading to meet stringent safety requirements at three ferry terminals on the Brisbane River. The steel pontoons at River Plaza and Merthyr Road were redesigned with safer deck layouts and streamlining structures were added to the ends to reduce suction eddies along the face of the pontoons. The existing pontoon at the Norman Park ferry terminal was replaced with a new pontoon to meet the safety requirements. Two terminals required new disabled access paths.

The client required a 25m long pontoon to moor a new luxury motor vessel. The pontoon was to be supplied with mains power, phone lines, cable television connection, mains water and connection to Brisbane City Council sewerage network. A stainless steel refuelling line was also installed, with camlock connection for direct refuelling from a road tanker. Lighting for the pontoon, walkways and gates was to be controlled by a photoelectric cell.
