Challenges
- The removal and replacement of Acid Sulphate Soils
- Working in a marine environment required strict environmental controls and works were to be staged around tidal conditions
- Working in a sand filled site presented ground condition challenges when it came to excavation and installation of services. The site was more susceptible to wind and rain erosion, slowing works
- Pensar was contracted to work with the client to finalise the design. This resulted in a full redesign and upgrade of the original design
- Pensar was to engage with the service providers to obtain approvals for the integration and connection to authority service mains
Achievements
- Pensar provided PoB a 100% finalised design, offering a practical solution and cost benefit to the client
- Pensar assisted PoB to introduce renewable energy onsite so that the completed terminal will be self-sufficient, for power supply
- Due to challenging site conditions and the need for a redesign, Pensar offered constructability advise throughout the project to accommodate the new design and ensure it’s fit for purpose
