PROJECT OVERVIEW

When we say we love a challenge and no job is too big for us, we mean it. But installing six tower cranes over moving waters two kilometres out to sea in a cyclone-prone part of the Australian coast really put Marr to the test.

THE CHALLENGE

Our engineering solution needed to address a number of challenges: cyclone-proofing, transporting and installing the cranes 2kms out to sea, lifting on moving water and working within the confined space and limited load capacity on the wharf.

OUR SOLUTION

Working with McConnell Dowell and GeoSea Joint Venture (MDGS JV), we developed five individual design applications – including a complete travel system to transport and build the tower cranes at sea – to meet the overall demands of building the structure and ongoing support infrastructure in an extremely difficult environment.

THE RESULT

Our solution gave MDGS JV the ability to reduce the challenges associated with craneage on the project and drive productivity. It also weathered the storm of three major cyclones without incident or lost time caused by damaged to the cranes.
