Client project
Vopak Fuel Upgrade Works
Overview
Doolee were engaged by Vopak Terminals to demolish and relocate existing speed ramps at Bays 5 & 6 within the Port Botany terminal. The project formed part of Vopak’s ongoing site maintenance and infrastructure upgrades within their Sydney Terminal.
The purpose of the works was to lengthen Bays 5 & 6 to ensure tankers are situated within the bund area while refuelling rather than overhanging outside the bunded areas.
Works were prescribed to be completed during a weekend shutdown period to reduce impact on Vopak operations.
Scope of work
- Demolition of Bay 5 speed hump and slab
- Demolition of Bay 6 speed hump and slab
- Installation of dowel-bars
- Installation of reinforcement
- Concrete placement for two slabs maintaining falls
- Joint sealing install
- Painting of speed humps
Highlights
- Works completed during prescribed 30hour weekend shutdown
- Bays open to heavy traffic immediately after shutdown complete
- Use of rapid set 40mpa concrete with 2-hour curing time
- Free-hand forming of speed hump
- Defective concrete mix supplied for first slab pour forcing the team to later remove and re-pour within the same shutdown timeframe
- Works successfully completed within allocated timeframe
