This project involves conducting work on three separate structures. This includes the removal and disposal of the existing A-Jetty Wharf, the replacement of the D-Dock wharfhead with a new wharfhead, and repairs to the E-Dock abutment. As a result, this project can be broken up in to three sections as stated below.
