Investment in marine expansion and renewals for local growth and international access, is essential if countries are to maintain their competitiveness in a global market. This involves giving priority to the benefits of an integrated freight network, without detrimental effect to the environment, safety or security. A growing emphasis on quality of life is also increasing the demand for marine recreational facilities across the globe.

GHD can assist you with your plans to balance marine infrastructure growth and development with environmental protection, community safety and respond to security regulations, increase capacity and supply chain efficiency, while engaging stakeholders to sustain competitive service quality.

We help clients preserve the environment and champion opportunity, in harmony.

Calliope South Wharf Access Jetty

GHD has delivered Cathodic Protection (CP) repair services to the Calliope South Wharf Access Jetty in Devonport New Zealand. Owned by the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN), the Jetty is a pre-cast pre-stressed reinforced concrete structure built in 1982 that connects the outer wharf to the landside base..

The pre-stressing tendons of the main beams of the jetty structure were found to be suffering from corrosion, due to high concentration of chloride ions from the surrounding environment and low concrete covers. The RNZN sought a long-term solution to the deteriorating concrete elements to avoid repetitive repairs.The pre-stressing tendons of the main beams of the jetty structure were found to be suffering from corrosion, due to high concentration of chloride ions from the surrounding environment and low concrete covers.

Gippsland Ports engaged GHD to provide engineering advice, research and design services for the Lakes Entrance Sand Management Program (LESMP). The aim is to keep the entrance environmentally-sustainable and open for commercial and recreational vessels in the long-term.

Located in Victoria, the Gippsland Lakes consist of a network of five rivers and four lakes covering approximately 400 sq km. The entrance provides access to Bass Strait through a man-made opening constructed in 1889. Today, Lakes Entrance is home to Victoria’s largest commercial fishing fleet and plays an important role in the economy of East Gippsland.
