Captain Bishop Bridge
PBC has obtained the necessary approvals for the duplication of Captain Bishop Bridge and the upgrade of Port Drive. Tenders have been called and received and are currently being assessed. PBC expects to award a contract and commence construction in March 2010, with completion expected in mid to late 2011.
Berth 11 & 12
Work is continuing on the construction of Berths 11 and 12, which will be occupied by Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) when completed in 2012 and 2014 respectively. This will make Brisbane the first port in Australia to introduce a third container stevedore.
General Purpose Berth and Terminal
One of PBC's newest infrastructure projects opened in 2009. The 210m, $57 million heavy-lift berth and terminal area is being used to support the growth of bulk and break-bulk cargoes.
Port Office – New PBC Head Office
Construction of the new PBC Head Office has commenced. This building will be PBC’s new headquarters, and is being designed and fitted out to achieve a 5 star green star rating from the Green Building Council of Australia.
The building is scheduled to be completed in mid 2010.
The existing Port Office building will then be available for lease (for commercial office purposes). For more information regarding this exciting opportunity, please contact John Tormey on 07 3258 4654.
Future Port Expansion
Work continues on the award-winning Future Port Expansion area, which will provide a further 235 hectares of port land and increased quay line.
As well as reclaiming the Future Port Expansion area with dredged material, PBC has embarked on large scale wick drain and vacuum trials to assess the effectiveness of these ground improvement techniques to speed up the consolidation of the dredged muds and deep deposits of soft clay which underlie the area.
Three ground improvement contractors, Van Oord, Cofra/Boskalis and Austress Menard were involved in the trials (2006 to 2008).
The trials have provided successful results, insights and lessons to the accelerated treatment of reclaimed land. Subsequent contracts are underway for treatment of 9.3 hectares with vacuum consolidation and 26 hectares with wick drains.
Wharf 10
Wharf 10, the seventh dedicated container berth (372m), constructed at a cost of $65 million (and officially opened on in 2009) is now leased to Patrick Terminals. The wharf expansion helped facilitate ‘the slide’ of the two container stevedores along the quay line and their expansions to over 900m of quay line each. Patrick operates from berths 8, 9 and 10. DP World operates from 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Port Gate
Development of new commercial enterprises include: warehousing within the 21,000m² Tzaneros precinct; and lease negotiations are continuing for the remaining areas for port-related commercial activities.
Steelforce Australia opened its 1,400m² warehouse facility within the Tzaneros precinct on Osprey Drive.
Sand Extraction Project
PBC received approval from the Environmental Protection Agency to remove 15 million cubic metres of sand from the Spitfire Channel in Moreton Bay over 15 years. The Spitfire Channel forms part of the 90km nagivational shipping channel, which stretches from the northern tip of Bribie Island to the mouth of the Brisbane River.
This project will straighten and widen the channel, shortening its length and removing two sharp turns. The removed sand will be used in the reclamation of the FPE.
Port West
Studies into Port West development options of this 90 hectare strategic estate, 6km from the Port of Brisbane continue. Preliminary investigations for wharves at Port West indicate the geotechnical and hydrographical ability for three wharves over 0.9 km of quay line.
The current strategic position of PBC is for Port West to be a future Motor Vehicle and General Cargo facility in addition to Fisherman Islands.
