Scope

  • Widening of existing boat ramp to accommodate new precast deck panels;
  • Hand placed stone pitched batter protection installed to revetment wall and install scour protection using divers to join panels below low tide level;
  • Comply with stringent environmental requirements for works within designated the marine park environment;
  • Co-ordination with tourism operators to enable continued use of the boat ramp;
  • Installation of an FRP fixed walkway over the widened boat ramp;

 

Overview

The As part of the Shute Harbour Marina Terminal redevelopment, Vassallo Constructions were engaged by the Department of Transport and Main Roads to upgrade the existing boat ramp to include a 3.5 metre widening of the ramp and construct a fixed walkway onto the precast boat ramp panels.

This will allow for more convenient use of the boat ramp by the public. The works were completed within the tidal zone, and divers were required to complete scour protection works to the existing seabed. The project was coordinated to maintain controlled access for Small Tourism Operators, whom were accommodated to allow for continuity of their business operations.
