From the Port of Melbourne:
The Webb Dock East Extension Project has kicked off since the contract announcement in March 2022.
Demolition works for a redundant piece of concrete pier, colloquially known as ‘the knuckle’, have started with service relocations and site establishment works successfully completed.
In recent weeks, saw-cutting and coring of the old structure has taken place, and sections of concrete slabs have been removed.
“Our works will enable larger ships to call at the terminal, helping to make the Port of Melbourne more productive and efficient,” said Walter Cambruzzi, Senior Project Manager.
The project team is looking ahead to the arrival on site of a spudded pontoon with crane to assist in the demolition and piling works, and the arrival of the piles required for the 71 metre extension of the quay line.
