DDR mobilises at Dampier Cargo Wharf

The Dampier Cargo Wharf (DCW) was constructed in 1982, and provides seven berths for the loading and provisioning of vessels servicing the marine industry and offshore oil and gas fields. The fenders on the western side of the DCW are  in poor condition and Duratec has been engaged to replace the old high maintenance ones with a more modern and durable design for an extended service life.

The scope of work will include removal of the existing cylindrical fender system, concrete remediation works on the berth face and fender attachment points to reinstate suitable fixing points for the fenders, including remediation of mechanical fastenings and installation of a replacement cone fender system.

To minimise disruption, the wharf components will be manufactured off-site and works implemented in two stages (half of the wharf length at a time) to ensure that essential customer services are maintained.
