Midwest Port Authority Geraldton Wharf Berth

The deck at Midwest Port Authority Geraldton Wharf Berth 4 has been an important part of the port’s infrastructure since it was poured in 1954. Due to years of wear and tear, the deck had deteriorated and needed replacement. However, the replacement process was not as simple as removing the old deck and pouring a new one. The team had to consider several factors, such as the impact of the new deck on larger ship loaders and the overall service life of the deck.

After careful consideration, the team decided to pressure blast the old deck and apply AQURON 7000 concrete treatment that has been proven to extend the service life of concrete structures by up to 15 years. This not only ensured that the deck would last for many more years, but it also allowed for an upgrade in the size of ship loaders that could be accommodated by the wharf.

This upgrade was a crucial development that would enable the port to handle larger ships and increase its capacity for trade and commerce.

Thus, the replacement of the deck at Midwest Port Authority Geraldton Wharf Berth 4 was not just a simple maintenance task. It was a carefully planned and executed project that would have a significant impact on the port’s operations for years to come.
