View(s):Access Engineering has been successfully awarded a contract for environmental monitoring and related work for the Port Lae Tidal Basin Phase I development project in Papua New Guinea.
Work in progress
The main contractor for this ADB-funded US$ 275 Million project is M/s.
China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd and construction work has already commenced in this respect, the local company said.
The project includes the construction of a Tidal Basin (700 metres long and 400 metres wide) with a dredged depth of 13 metres below chart datum, a multipurpose berth (240 metres long and 45-50 metres wide), and terminal works including all buildings; storage area; roads; and drainage, water, electrical, and sewerage services.
The tidal basin and berth are designed to accommodate vessels with an overall length of 200 metres, beam of 32.2 metres, and fully laden draft of 12 metres. Flexibility is built in for extending the berth by another 150 metres without incurring dredging cost.
Access Engineering said it has already mobilized its personnel and other resources at the project site. Picture shows field testing and collection of samples.
