ProposalDescription: 

Construction of a marine infrastructure in the Port of Richards Bay, Kwazulu Natal

Expanded_Motivation: 

TNPA is proposing to extend and develop the existing repair quay in the Port of Richards Bay. The objective of this project is to provide marine infrastructure needed to accommodate a floating dry dock along the Repair Quay and to provide the required bulk infrastructure for such a facility. Authorisation for the Floating Dry Dock Facility will be applied for separately. TNPA is therefore applying for authorisation to construct the supporting marine infrastructure that is required for the operation of a floating dry dock facility and that entails the following: • Revetment structure to absorb the energy of the ocean water and scour protection;  The revetment area will need to be dredged. It should be noted that a larger area is to be dredged during construction to provide a stable slope for the placement of rock for the revetment. The revetment structure is then backfilled to tie-in with the original ground levels. Scour rock will be placed on the slope below the jetty structure where erosion of soft material is a risk. • Mooring structures (mooring dolphins) to ensure that the vessels are secured as well as an access jetty;  Piles for the mooring dolphins and jetty structure will be driven with barge and crane mounted vibratory hammer. A rock drill will be used to increase the founding depth. Reinforcing and concrete work will be carried out from the barge. Precast elements will also be placed by the barge and crane or with a land-based mobile crane, where reach is not an issue. • Landside area facilities; and  This phase of the construction involves the site preparation of the repair quay landside area. The scope of the project excludes the infrastructure within the land side area, but includes paving and installation / connection of services. • Service connections to the boundary of the area (potable water, sewer, electrical & stormwater).  Currently there is a 150mm diameter water pipeline. There are servitudes for pipes, communications, sewer and electrical. Capital dredging will be carried out by a trailer suction hopper dredger for the dredging of sand and silt. The dredge slurry is loaded onto hopper barges and disposed of at a licenced offshore dump site. An estimated total of 1 420 150m3 will be dredged and disposed of offshore. All common port infrastructure such as channels, revetments and quay walls shall be designed for a working life of 50 years. All supporting or project specific infrastructure such as mooring systems, site services and lighting shall be designed for a working life of 20 years. This project is based on a concession being given to a private Terminal Operator (TO) who will mobilise a floating dry dock, establish the required ship repair facility and operate the terminal. The objective of this project is to provide marine and landside supporting infrastructure needed to accommodate a floating dry dock along the Repair Quay and to provide the required bulk infrastructure for such a facility. The terminal operator will typically carry out vessel surveys which includes cleaning of hulls, inspecting, painting, minor repairs and replacement anodes which will be worked on over periods of between 2 – 4 weeks.
