BHP (Asset Owner), AECOM (Owner’s Engineer), and Duratec (Contractor) completed the BHP Berth C & D Structural Remediation Selection Phase Study Project (The Project) in 2022, setting a new standard for the procurement and scoping of major marine asset remediation projects. The project involved innovative approaches, including a 2-5mm 3D reality model for 1.2km of wharf structure, bespoke online software for defect management, and a collaborative approach to inspection, testing, and design, resulting in a robust procurement framework for the asset’s life extension. The project was delivered over approximately 12 months, starting in mid-2021.
