The Port of Melbourne Corporation’s (PoMC) $1.6 billion redevelopment of its Webb Dock facilities has taken the next major step after the awarding of major civil and maritime design contracts.

 

PoMC’s Chief Executive, Stepgen Bradford, announced the appointment of two consultants who will be responsible for the delivery of detailed designs for the project’s internal roads, services infrastructure, interface buffers and maritime engineering services.

 

Following the Expression of Interest and tender process, PoMC has appointed Aurecon Australia to deliver the civil engineering requirements, while Arup has been appointed to deliver martitime engineering consulting services for the project’s extensive maritime works.

 

“Aurecon & Arup both have an excellent track record for designing and delivering large scale infrastructure with a focus on innovation and sustainability – their worldwide experience will help to create the innovative design outcomes we are seeking for Webb Dock” Mr Bradford said.

 

The expansion of the Port of Melbourne, which is already the country’s largest container, automotive and general cargo port was announced earlier this year.
