SCOPE OF WORK
From the WICET website
The Project involves the funding and construction of a new coal export facility which will be situated just west of the existing RG Tanna Coal Terminal in Gladstone Harbour. The Terminal will be located at Golding Point on land leased from the Gladstone Ports Corporation within Gladstone State Development Area. The site is accessed via Mt Larcom Road.
Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Pty Ltd (WICET) is owned and being developed by existing and potential coal exporters located in Queensland to provide increased long term export coal capacity.
The Terminal will be located at Golding Point, to the west of the existing RG Tanna and Barney Point Terminals.
Once fully commissioned, the multi-billion dollar industry-owned and privately funded Terminal will provide over 80 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) in additional export coal capacity through the Port of Gladstone.
MMM ( a joint venture of Monadelphous and Muhubbah Marine) was contracted to construct the approach jetty and shipping berth associated with Stage 1 of the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Pty Ltd's (WICET) Project at Gladstone in Queensland.
Contracted to MMM, TWE supplied special class welders, skilled painters and supervisors to assist in the construction of offshore plant and infrastructure with a 1.8km approach jetty and transfer tower platform, wharf, wharf conveyor including the drive and take up tower, berthing and mooring dolphins, ship access platforms, jetty conveyor and transfer tower.
