Deconstruction of 650t – 61m high shiploader, including salvage of interconnecting cables, winches, motors and boogies
Highly specialist trades and 3rd party engineering consultants were required to manage craneage, rigging and cutting/lifting sequences, scaffolding, plumbing and HAZMAT
Key Challenges
Manoeuvring and transporting shiploader structure from wharf-side barge to deconstruction work site
Construction of steel lift rigging to transfer weight of structural sections to prevent collapse
Works sequencing to factor in tidal and wind/wave patterns, particularly when offloading the 650t structure from its wharf-side barge, as well as transporting structure to final works site
