The project was completed ahead of schedule prior to the industry lay-off at the end of 2022. This project proved to be a significant success for DP World Logistics, as it helped to increase the efficiency and productivity of container maintenance and cleaning. This project serves as a prime example of Civilcraft’s expertise in construction and commitment to delivering high-quality projects.

Project Components:

• Site establishment, including installation of temporary delineation devices.
• Demolition and excavation of existing pavement.
• Supply & installation of electrical, communications and stormwater service infrastructure.
• Construction of concrete trench drains and concrete awning pad footings.
• Re-instatement of concrete slabs and construction of asphalt transition zones.
• Construction of water treatment holding tank.
• Construction of structural steel awnings to provide shelter for the containers and improve the overall aesthetic of the facility.

Key Challenges and Risks:

• Program and sequencing of the works to complete the work on time and within budget.
• Minimise the footprint of the works as much as possible to allow for the continued operation of DP World Logistics Park 2.
• The project faced significant alterations in its scope and design, which resulted in a need for effective innovation and additional resources to achieve the client’s target.

Project Components:

• Site establishment including site facilities, temporary fencing, management plans, protection of existing services, installation of approved environmental pollution control measures and dilapidation reports.
• Delineate the site to isolate the agreed works area(s) from the terminal operations.
• Protection of existing pavement surrounding the works area and any services within and directly adjacent to the works area.
• Partial demolition of concrete crane rail beam using hydro-demolition to expose and retain reinforcing steel, treatment of steel and reconstruction to new design level.
• Partial demolition of heavy-duty concrete pavement and reconstruction by topping slabs cast on the existing slabs.
• Installation of new concrete stormwater pipes and stormwater pit grate reconstruction.
• Reinstatement of full depth heavy-duty concrete pavement surrounding the new pits and drains.

Key Challenges and Risks:

• Working in an environmentally sensitive area.
• Access to the construction site was limited due to the terminal’s security protocols and operational requirements which include MSICs and safety marshals. The construction team worked closely with the terminal operator to ensure that there was compliance with these regulations while minimising disruption to port operations.

Due to significant challenges in cruise capacity and the previous gangway system posing extreme operational and safety risks, the decision was made to significantly upgrade the gangways for the safe movement of passengers between the terminal and port vessels.

Civilcraft was selected based on their value for money construction methodology which gave the client confidence we could maintain daily port operations and achieve the tight program set for the arrival of the new gangways.

Summary of works:

• Demolition and removal of the existing seaward rail.
• Demolition and removal of various existing pavements for new landward beam.
• Excavation, protection and redirection of existing services.
• Staged construction of new seaward and landward concrete rail beams.
• Supply & installation of the new rails and associated hardware, including earthing.
• Restoring the wharf surfaces on each side of each rail beam.

Summary of works:

• Installation of four 864mm piles to a depth of 21.3m into bedrock.
• Excavation and construction of a 5.0m x 4.5m x 1.5m (L x W x D) reinforced concrete pile cap.
• Installation of two 150 tonne bollards.
• Installation new pedestrian fence.
• Reconstruction of pedestrian concourse to existing condition.

Civilcraft was commissioned to construct an extension to the existing RTG Beam, which involved the construction of approximately 250 meters of new reinforced concrete runway beam. The primary goal was to ensure that RTG operations could continue uninterrupted and with improved performance. Additionally, the project included repairs to the asphalt in the immediate vicinity of the RTG Beam, ensuring a safer and more secure work environment.

Project Components:

• Site establishment including site facilities, temporary fencing, management plans, protection of existing services and dilapidation reports.
• Remove and dispose off-site of excavated pavement materials to the design depth. Removal and disposal to be undertaken in accordance with legislative requirements including all sampling, testing and classification in accordance with EPA requirements.
• Preparation of RTG runway beam including sub-base preparation, supply and placement of steel reinforcement.
• Supply, place and finish high early strength concrete to RTG runway beam.
• Mill damaged flexible pavement to repair identified damaged pavement to a depth of 50mm (where required) including disposal of millings off site.
• Supply, delivery and placement of asphalt re-sheet wearing course 50mm nominal thickness, AC14HD R116 A35P.
• Provision of as-built documentation.

Key Challenges and Risks:

• Working in a live round-a-clock environment.
• Works were postponed due to high winds. In order to achieve set target dates, additional resources were required.
• Access to the construction site was limited due to the terminal’s security protocols and operational requirements which included the MSICs and safety marshals. The construction team worked closely with the terminal operator to ensure that there was compliance with these regulations while minimising disruption to port operations.
