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.
