New wharf takes shape

The works at Terminal 3, East Devonport continue at pace with fabrication of 98% of all precast elements now complete. Hazell Bros Group, VEC Civil Engineering and TasSpan - Civil Contracting have produced the pre-cast elements in their Ulverstone, Latrobe and Brighton facilities including headstocks, planks, beams and fender blocks.

The pre-cast elements comprise:

? 116 deck planks
? 22 headstocks
? 24 edge beams
? 7 fender blocks
? 5 plinths for the Automated Mooring Units (AMUs)

As the new wharf for Spirit of Tasmania takes shape we’d like to acknowledge the size and complexity of the project so far involving over 110 Tasmanian businesses who bring their skills and expertise to Project QuayLink. It’s the largest investment in port infrastructure in Tasmania in a generation, and has so far injected $63 million into the local economy.

With Hazell Brothers & Brady Marine & Civil delivering a new wharf and reclamation area, the design by pitt&sherry and Royal HaskoningDHV and proof engineering by SMEC, Project QuayLink is making great progress.
