Work is progressing well at Seaview Wharf, with the five piles at the rear of the amenities building on track to be completed in time for the Christmas break.
Over the holiday period, Brian Perry Civil's crew will down tools from Wednesday 21 December to Monday 9 January. If you wish to contact us over this period, please call 04 495 3829 (Port Security).
New barge arriving soon
We have a new larger barge arriving at Seaview in February which will help with the ongoing heavy construction.
More piles to be installed
Underneath the wharf, access has been built to allow for the installation of raker pile clamps and the demolition of the deck, which will allow for more piles to be installed.
One of the key projects in the new year will be the construction and installation of new pile caps.
The soffits will be precast in BPC’s yard out at Otaihanga and transported to Point Howard. Using precast soffits will allow the steelfixers and joiners to work safely above the high tide level to construct the pile caps. Each soffit weighs over 50T and will need to be lifted into position by a 250T crane sitting on the new barge.
We are continuing negotiations with the fuel industry to allow for some works to happen while ships are in berth, as this would shorten the overall construction period. However, some shipping outages will still be necessary to complete activities safely and productively, especially work under the wharf.
