The Ocean Reef Marina breakwaters, constructed by WA Limestone Group and Italia Stone Group Joint Venture, have been awarded the Civil Contractors Federation WA 2024 WA Earth Award. The accolade recognises excellence in the Project Value $75-150 million category.
This remarkable project, commissioned by DevelopmentWA, involved the meticulous import of 1.25 million tonnes of rock from over 30 delivery sites. Despite challenges such as weather conditions and managing trucking and earthworks in a busy urban setting, the project was executed with precision and efficiency.
Project highlights
Extensive Construction: More than 2km of breakwater and 1km of revetment walls were built.
Sustainable Practices: Existing materials were reused, and complex dredging was expertly managed.
Overcoming Challenges: The team navigated issues of material supply, adverse weather, and logistical hurdles in an urban environment.
Thanks to their dedication and innovation, the project was delivered on time, within budget, and to an exceptional standard. Congratulations to the team on this well-deserved recognition!
