Working from jack-up barges, our crews are dismantling the trestle and conveyor in sections, and transferring approximately 6,500 tonnes of steel to Half Tide Harbour by barge. Our work at Hay Point is ensuring that aging infrastructure is safely and carefully removed in order to best protect the local environment. In March 2019, Walz Group achieved two years recordable injury free on the project.
In conjunction with the main work of dismantling the trestle, Walz Group is undertaking additional separable portions of work under the same contract. Each separable portion of work is outlined below.
Disposal of Waste Material
Once on-shore, the trestle sections are separated into steel, concrete and timber components and prepared for transport to recycling facilities.
Dewatering and Processing of Pile Water
If the water located in the piles is not inert or has the potential to cause visual pollution, Walz is responsible for processing and filtering the water prior to release off-site.
TT8 Top Deck Removal
We are removing and disposing of the existing TT8 top deck, and installing the new structure and supporting componentry.
Berth 1 to MD2 Footbridge Installation
We have been contracted to install a new footbridge (Footbridge 2), with associated structural support and access walkways. The new structure will connect Berth 1 to MD2 after the deconstruction of 17BP conveyor and roadway.
Berth 2 Shutdown Works
The current shiploader infrastructure requires upgrading and refurbishment, as well as installation of new elements. We have completed:
Berth 1 Shutdown Works
This refurbishment work is similar in nature to that outline for Berth 2 above and incorporates:
Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) are developing the Hydrogen Park Gladstone project, for the small scale production of hydrogen and injection into the natural gas distribution network as a 10% blended mix.
