BG&E was engaged to inspect and assess the structural integrity of the jetty at the end of Wharf Road, Toronto, within the City of Lake Macquarie, Greater Newcastle.

The assessment aimed to evaluate the structure’s condition, identify major defects significant to overall structural integrity, and undertake analysis to determine the maximum berthing vessel weight with the aim of achieving a 25 tonne ferry berthing load.

Key responsibilities and achievements on the project included

• Conducting durability and water testing to select appropriate materials for construction.
• Designing new structural jetty components.
• Providing tender drawings
