Last leg for new wharf in Devonport

We're celebrating another QuayLink milestone with the 51st and final pile driven in to create the foundations of the new wharf in East Devonport.

The wharf piles are between 12-33 metres in length, one metre wide and, in total, along with the sheet piles, weigh around 1,000 tonnes.

Using a 500T piling rig and S80 hydrohammer, the Rebecca Lily piling barge worked with both an impact hammer and a vibratory hammer to drive in the piles and we are pleased to report we have had no noise complaints over the last year.

In addition, we have used an innovative fusion bonded epoxy coating system that will significantly enhance durability and lower ongoing maintenance costs.
