Port Kembla Tug Berth Dredging

Neumann Dredging were engaged as dredging contractors for McConnell Dowell for the dredging works to construct a new tug boat berthing area for Port Kembla. The new tug berth area is to protect the tugs from extreme weather conditions by the means of extended break water out into the existing harbour. Approximately 30,000 cubic meters of stiff clays and a high percentage of rocks and gravel were pumped into the deposition area at the southern end of the harbour. The deposition area required capping layer over contaminated material.
