Port Bonython Breasting Dolphin 2 & 3 Remediation

This project involved the successful remediation of two inner breasting dolphins at the end of a 2.5 km jetty at the Santos processing facility in Port Bonython, approximately 250 km north-northwest of Adelaide. Key works included hydro demolition to remove 160 mm of concrete, replacement of exposed steel reinforcement, and full concrete reinstatement using form and pour techniques.

Critical elements of the project included the design and installation of a complex temporary works structure with integrated lifting capabilities, a temporary fender system, and the replacement of existing soffit steel box beams with new reinforced concrete beams. The structure supported all construction loads, enabling safe and efficient removal and replacement of fenders and major structural components in a challenging marine environment.
