To inform the master planning project, the Southern Ports Authority required an in-depth condition assessment following the Wharf Structures Condition Assessment Manual (WSCAM). BG&E undertook the site inspection, collection and testing of samples and non-destructive testing of concrete, steel, and timber elements.

The Port of Albany forms a part of the Southern Ports Authority, located in WA. The Albany Port berths showed signs of severe deterioration, including extensive cracking, spalling, timber rot and corrosion.

BG&E reviewed site inspection notes and documented the defects at the port. An assessment of suitable remedial options, including cost estimation and repair life, was then completed. This was then provided to the client to enable them to make informed decisions on asset management.
