North Marine was engaged to install an additional 2 modular pontoons to the existing wharf system at MSQ Marine Operations Base in Cairns, for QLD Water Police.

Scope of Work

Having installed the adjoining modular pontoons in 2022 for TAFE Queensland, North Marine used the same methodology for this project which also ran seamlessly.

The work was completed in one day.

North Marine personnel used stainless steel dyno-bolts to affix the anchors. Once the anchors were attached to the wharf, North Marine’s fleet truck and crane lowered the floating pontoons into position and secured them. Cleats and fenders were then fixed to the new structures.

Concrete drilling was used to attach the pole anchors to the main wharf.

The floating pontoons were supplied by Superior Jetties. The installation was carried out in accordance with the standard Superior Jetty installation procedures.

A QPS Officer In Charge was onsite to observe the operation at various times throughout the installation process. They expressed high satisfaction with the expertise of our staff.
