Construction is expected to get underway soon on the final stages of a revetment upgrade project at the Port of Port Hedland in Western Australia.
The multi-million dollar contract, worth $8.6 million, has been awarded to MGN Civil, and will see new rock armour installed on the inner harbour revetment wall.
“The upgrade delivers long-term protection for our coastline using durable materials designed to withstand future cyclones,” Pilbara MLA Kevin Mitchell said.
“It is fantastic to see government and industry working together to deliver infrastructure that supports local jobs and strengthens our regional economy.”
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.
“Upgrading critical infrastructure like the Eastern Harbour Revetment ensures the Port of Port Hedland remains safe and resilient to extreme weather events,” WA ports minister Stephen Dawson said.
