Final stage of a revetment upgrade project at the Port of Port Hedland commences.
- US$8.6 million contract awarded by Pilbara Ports to MGN Civil
- Project strengthens port infrastructure and improves cyclone resilience
- Cook Government delivering quality infrastructure and services across the State
Important works to strengthen port infrastructure are underway at the Port of Port Hedland as part of the final stage of Pilbara Ports Eastern Harbour Revetment Upgrade project.
The project involves renewing degraded sections of the inner harbour revetment wall by installing new rock armour. This will protect the wharf structure from coastal erosion and increase cyclone resilience.
The final stage of the project covers sections of revetment from Berth 1 to Berth 3 and between Berth 3 and BHP’s Nelson Point Berth A, building on earlier works completed at Berth 3 and the Nelson Point Tug Haven.
A US$8.6 million contract to complete the final stage of work was awarded to MGN Civil, which has proven capability in delivering large-scale marine and rock armour infrastructure projects.
Construction is expected to be completed within the next 12 months.
Ports and Regional Development Minister Stephen Dawson stated that upgrading critical infrastructure like the Eastern Harbour Revetment ensures the Port of Port Hedland remains safe and resilient to extreme weather events.
Pilbara MLA Kevin Michel commented that the upgrade delivers long-term protection for the coastline using durable materials designed to withstand future cyclones.
