Construction – de-watering & pumping
Who pulled the plug out? We did!! |
| |
|
 |
As part of the final phase of developments at
Paddington Basin our engineers and fabricators constructed
two sets of steel stop planks to de-water the end of the
basin. Using our tugs, workboats and jack-legged barge with
a 360 degree crane inside it, we installed the two sets of
stop planks, removed the fish and pumped the basin dry ready
for construction work to take place. |
|
Once the basin had been pumped dry and the
debris in the bottom of the basin removed, we set up smaller
pumps in between the two sets of stop planks in order to
maintain the drain-down while the construction company cut
away the old basin wall as part of their re-development of
the new site. |

Barging
Benefits
Space gain: By delivering all our plant and equipment by
barge we were able to operate without entering the
contractor’s site.
√
We were also able to avoid the need for large mobile cranes
to lift stop planks or pumps into position. √ |
