Marine infrastructure Planning, Design, Construction and Maintenance
The global demand for Australian resources is ever increasing and production is increasing along with it. The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) forecast that export volumes would increase by two-thirds in the years leading up to 2015.* To meet this demand Australia is investing heavily into marine infrastructure. Projects are being planned and implemented around wharf and port upgrades, marine asset management and maintenance, port and traffic intermodal co-ordination systems, terminal management systems and much more.

Structures progressive asset management that will carry marine infrastructure into
2011 the future is now greater than ever.
dear Marine Engineer,
Coasts and Marine Structures 2011 is set to deliver insight into all the latest design innovations being employed in Australia’s
most progressive marine projects. We’ve gathered the experts behind these projects to pass on the innovations employed as well
as the lessons learned.
hear project case studies giving insight into the Port of Melbourne, Fremantle Ports, nCIG Coal terminal, Port hedland Port Authority and more.
understand the technical challenges that were encountered in the billion dollar Port Botany expansion and the lessons learned though applying
innovative solutions as explained by Annette Woods (Sydney Ports Corporation). take home the practical design concepts and ideas utilised in
the development of Berths 11 and 12 at the Port of Brisbane as outlined by Sam Birch (kBr). learn about the latest offerings geotechnical
