Lend Lease engaged Duratec to undertake the 10.95m2 of concrete repair and 114m of crack repair on the cope beams; the areas identified by Aurecon that required immediate attention.
Details
Aurecon was engaged to carry out investigation works to the concrete caissons in the Barangaroo Central Section, and to specify a repair methodology that will provide a design life of 10 years. Aurecon then identified the areas which had deteriorated due to chloride contamination within the tidal and splash zones.
Works undertaken by Duratec included:
- Providing access to cope beams using steel punts.
- Removal of delaminated concrete.
- Replacement of corroded steel.
- Concrete reinstatement by patch repair method. Crack repair using rout and fill method.
Highlights
- Repair works were carried out on a series of steel punts which provided a more stable working environment than boats and pontoons. Since the repair sizes were relatively small, these punts also gave us the flexibility to work on multiple areas simultaneously.
- Works were carried out in one of the busiest harbours in New South Wales.
