BridgePro Engineering is a leading Tasmanian contractor specialising in innovative and high-quality end-to-end solutions, from concept to construction.

Marine Construction

Wharves, jetties, pontoons, dolphins and fender systems, built with our own jack-up barge, marine plant and in-house marine engineering.

BridgePro designs, builds and maintains wharves, jetties, pontoons, dolphins, tug berths and fender systems for Tasmanian port owners, using our own marine plant and in-house engineering.

Marine Plant and Engineering

Our SeaJack jack-up barge builds wharves and dolphins where tidal ranges are large or piles are raked, working alongside our floating plant and specialised piling gear.

Our modular dumb barges carry heavy plant and precast elements. They can be lifted from the water and moved by road to remote sites, and configured to suit each job.

Precast and steelwork come from our Latrobe facility, so marine components are built to our programme and checked by our own engineers.

Our marine construction expertise is backed by a solid track record at every major Tasmanian port since 2014, including the Devonport 2 West Tug Berth Pontoon (2025 CCF Tasmania Earth Award), Port Latta Dolphin Fender Replacement (2026 CCF Tasmania Earth Award), the King Island RoRo Wharf at Devonport Berth 5 West (2022 CCF Tasmania Earth Award) and the Port of Stanley pontoon. Our in-house marine engineering team delivers barge stability assessments, towage analysis and structural capacity verification, and our sonar-equipped underwater drone captures 3D scans of submerged structures without dive teams.

Our experience and skills:

  • Wharves
  • Jetties
  • Berthing and mooring dolphins
  • Navigation beacons and markers
  • Piles for marinas
