Port of Brisbane announces contractors for mega cruise terminal
Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd (PBPL) has announced the principal contractors for its $158 million Brisbane International Cruise Terminal, paving the way for construction to begin in the coming months.
Wharf construction will be undertaken by Brady Marine & Civil, a specialist marine infrastructure and engineering contractor headquartered in Brisbane, the company said in its release.
The civil works and terminal building will be delivered by Hindmarsh, a leading Australian construction company.
PBPL CEO Roy Cummins said the tender process had attracted a high-quality field, but ultimately the successful contractors provided the right mix of expertise, capabilities and value for money for the project.
Mr Cummins said early preparation for the wharf had already begun, with ABFI Steel Group (a local Brisbane-based company) undertaking the task of manufacturing 105 piles, up to 45m long, needed to support the wharf.
Piling is expected to commence soon, with wharf construction to follow.
Relocation of approximately 85,000 cubic metres of surcharge (clean sand) is currently underway. Hindmarsh will begin to prepare the site for construction in March, with works commencing in April.
