Pilbara Ports awards contract for the design and construction of the Dampier Link Bridge forming part of the Dampier Cargo Wharf Projects which will deliver a multi-user facility that expands the service capability of the Port of Dampier.
The link bridge will strengthen marine infrastructure and support improved shipping services at the Port of Dampier.
The Dampier Cargo Wharf Projects on Western Australia’s mid-north coast has achieved a major milestone, with Pilbara Ports awarding the stage two contract for the Dampier Link Bridge to NRW Pty Ltd and Brady Marine and Civil Pty.
Under the contract, NBJV will design and build a new 57-meter-long link bridge that will connect the existing Dampier Cargo Wharf to the Dampier Bulk Handling Facility. The works will also include demolishing and removing the existing Southern Mooring Dolphin, piling works, and constructing a reinforced concrete deck.
This link bridge will enhance direct shipping services in the Pilbara by providing seamless connectivity by connecting the new Dampier Bulk Handling Facility and existing cargo wharf.
Construction of the Dampier Bulk Handling Facility is well underway with demolition works, dredging, drilling and blasting complete, and wharf construction in progress.
This facility is on track for completion in the first half of this year, with the link bridge scheduled to be fully operational by late 2026.
The Dampier Cargo Wharf Projects will significantly expand the marine infrastructure and operational capability at the Port of Dampier.
The Australian Government has committed a total of US$565 million towards common user port infrastructure upgrades in the Pilbara, including US$115 million for the Port of Dampier.
