Darnley Wharf and Breakwater Reconstruction
For this project, Harbourside was engaged as the prime consultant to complete the design of a replacement structure for an existing marginal wharf. In addition, we were responsible for the partial replacement of an existing breakwater, the design of an abutment for the gangway to the floating docks and the design of a new anchorage for the floating docks.
Naufrage Breakwater Reconstruction
Harbourside was engaged as the prime consultant to complete the design of a new breakwater to replace the existing breakwater structure. The existing breakwater was a timber piled structure, a concrete deck and armour stone below and at the end.
