Fender System Replacement at Port of Bundaberg

Fender System Replacement

GPCPL | 08/10/2022

FMG has completed a fender system replacement project at the Port of Bundaberg for GPCPL. This included the extraction and replacement of the existing fender system which consisted of 2 piles, top timbers, HDPE wear strips, rubber cone and spacer plates. In total 4 of these units where withdrawn and replaced from the seabed. FMG engineered and constructed a unique "Header Beam" which allowed us to fully assemble the units on the ground and then pitch and drive both piles at the same time. This greatly reduced the time on site and increased the safety of our crews during the project by minimising their time aloft for assembly of the structures. The entire floating plant was mobilised from our base at Gladstone Marina. All works both onsite and preliminary were completed by our multi-talented marine crews.
