Devonport Berth 2 East AMU Installation

Crane rail beam strengthening, reinforced concrete foundations and installation of two automated mooring units at Devonport Berth 2 East.

Project Overview

Structural strengthening and foundation works to install two automated mooring units (AMUs) at Berth 2 East, delivered around SeaRoad’s shipping schedule.

The existing 14 m crane rail beam was hydro-demolished, additional reinforcement was fixed and welded to the existing reinforcement, an anti-corrosion coating was applied, and the beam was reinstated with deep-pour grout.

BridgePro formed, reinforced and poured the reinforced concrete foundation for the two AMUs, including base slab, walls and top slab with all cast-ins. The AMUs were installed to approved lift plans, with anchor bolts placed within ±3 mm and torqued to manufacturer specifications, followed by safety bollards, ladders and handrails.

Under-wharf hydro-demolition was planned around the tides from hanging access platforms, with protective measures and close coordination with the Harbour Master so SeaRoad operations were not disrupted.

Key figures: 14 m crane rail beam strengthened, 2 AMUs installed, anchor bolts within ±3 mm. Temporary works designed in-house.
