Spirit of Tasmania Terminal Buildings Piling

Design and installation of foundation piles for the terminal and ancillary buildings at the new TT-Line Spirit of Tasmania facility in East Devonport, for Vos Construction.

Foundation piling for the Spirit of Tasmania terminal buildings, East Devonport

Project Overview

Foundation piling for six terminal and ancillary buildings, delivered for Vos Construction.

BridgePro designed the piles and pile cap connections and used three pile types to suit the loads and ground at each building. Driven steel CHS piles were installed with a 24 to 35 t excavator and vibratory and impact hammers, helical screw piles were manufactured in-house and installed with a pendulum auger, and 450 mm cased bored piles with prefabricated cages were installed for Building 8. PDA testing, pile set and torque records verified capacity, and the works were delivered in a single mobilisation.

Key figures: Driven, screw and bored piles across six buildings.
