Projects
Andrew (Boy) Charlton pool refurbishment
MCM was engaged by the City of Sydney to carry out structural repair works to the ABC Pool. Previous inspections revealed the pool had recurring vertical cracks with active corrosion in the walls and gutters, and the steel members below pool deck level were in poor condition; some were observed with heavy corrosion and visible deformation.
Bolte Bridge and Towers Condition Assessment
MCM was commissioned by Transurban to conduct a comprehensive condition assessment to identify and develop a preferred repair solution that will reduce the risk of corrosion on the Bolte Bridge Towers and Bolte Bridge Pier 3 located in the Yarra River.
Thursday Island Wharves Repairs
MCM was contracted by Ports North to conduct concrete repairs on the engineer wharf soffits, as well as the abutment of the main wharf to extend service life. Another part of the works was the encasement of existing octagonal piles of the approach jetty of the engineers wharf, as well as the nearby dolphin. The project presented logistical challenges due to location and the difference in infrastructure and available suppliers on Thursday Island. All plant, equipment and materials were freighted to the location using barges or available shipping lane vessels, depending on availability. The project acknowledged the strict environmental restrictions in place for fauna and flora, and water quality.
Loy Yang B Power Station Trial
Commissioned in 1993, Loy Yang B power station features advanced technology for improved efficiency and reduced emissions compared to older power plants. It plays a key role in Victoria’s energy generation while facing increasing focus on transitioning to renewable energy.
City of Sydney — Structures Maintenance Works
Over the past five years, MCM has been honoured to work alongside the City of Sydney, providing expert solutions for the management, inspection, and servicing of a diverse range of structures across the local government area.
Holden and No.1 Maribyrnong Dock Fire System Rehabilitation
MCM was engaged by the Port of Melbourne to complete rehabilitation works to two major fuel and liquids berths along the Yarra River to lengthen the lifespan of their fire systems.
Glebe Island Dolphin Removal
Dolphins protect passing vessels and the heritage-listed Glebe Island Bridge, which is one of the last remaining swing bridges of its type in Australia. The northern and southern dolphins were in a state of disrepair and presented a risk of collapse as Sydney entered its NYE celebration period and relied on safe passage for fireworks and other large vessels.
Eastern Treatment Plant Tank Remediation
A critical asset for Melbourne Water, the Eastern Treatment Plant is located in Bangholme in Victoria and treats around 40% of Melbourne’s sewerage. A key part of the treatment process is 24 secondary sedimentation tanks which remove further solids from the effluent being treated. Due to the aggressive nature of effluent on these assets over their lifespan, major refurbishment is required to ensure they can continue to effectively operate.
Port Denarau Marina Maintenance, Fiji
Port Denarau Marina provides stopover for rest, recreation and provisioning during cruising around Fiji Islands. To ensure safe mooring of a large variety of vessels, it is important the critical elements of marine assets are well maintained.
Pyrmont Bridge Structural Restoration
Pyrmont Bridge is currently in variable condition, with deterioration to the structural timber fabric which needs to be stopped and reversed by a staged restoration process. This project is the first stage of the main truss restoration works.
PTA Rail Bridge ICCP
The Fremantle Rail Bridge is a twin line structure, crossing the Swan River between Fremantle and North Fremantle.
