Case Study: Marine Construction Access with Harcan Marine’s Hire Equipment
Project Overview
-
Client: Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads
-
Location: Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia
-
Date: May 2025
-
Challenge: Provide safe, stable access for bridge piling repairs in a tidal, high-current marine environment.
-
Solution: Harcan Marine supplied hire equipment to build engineered pontoon platforms, enabling efficient access to a difficult marine construction site.
The Problem
Repairing bridge piles in Moreton Bay required a reliable platform to support workers, equipment, and materials amidst strong currents and tidal shifts. Traditional access methods were unsafe and impractical due to the site’s remote location and dynamic conditions, posing risks to personnel and project timelines.
Harcan Marine’s Solution
Harcan Marine delivered a tailored access solution using our hire equipment fleet. We deployed modular pontoon sections, crane barges, and anchoring systems to construct safe, engineered platforms:
-
Equipment: Supplied 12m x 6m pontoon units, a 50-tonne crane barge, and heavy-duty mooring anchors from our hire inventory.
-
Design: Engineered a stable, load-rated platform (500kg/m² capacity) with guardrails and non-slip decking, designed to withstand 2-knot currents and tidal fluctuations.
-
Installation: Our dive team and crane operators assembled the platform on-site, securing it with precision anchoring to ensure stability for the 10-day project duration.
Safety and Efficiency
-
Safety: Adhered to our Safety Management Plan, with SSBA-equipped divers verifying anchor points and daily platform inspections ensuring compliance with AS/NZS 2299.1:2015.
-
Efficiency: The pontoon platform provided direct access for piling crews, reducing setup time and enabling uninterrupted work despite tidal changes.
Results
-
Access: Successfully supported repairs on 15 concrete piles, with the platform accommodating workers, tools, and a 5-tonne pile driver.
-
Reliability: Maintained stability throughout, with zero safety incidents or downtime.
-
Client Feedback: The Queensland Department of Transport praised our hire equipment and rapid deployment, meeting their tight project schedule.
