Project Overview

Dive and Marine Contractors were contracted by Waterman-Moylan on behalf of Dun Laoghaire Harbour Company to carry out a detailed inspection and Survey of the In-filled Wharf at Berth 1 Dun Laoghaire. Dive and Marine Contractors had carried out the previous Structural Inspection to Berth 1 in 2014 which identified areas that now require further investigation.
These additional investigations included the Excavation to a depth of one meter below sea bed on support piles, to allow None Destructive Testing (NDT's) to be carried out.  Structural dimensions were recorded along with a detailed photographic survey of all elements of the Pile structure. 

Project Outcome

A detailed two volume report was compiled which included detailed drawings of pile layout including sections, schedule of inspection data, defects table, table of ultrasonic thickness (UT) results and a detailed photographic log. This document will be an essential part in the process of developing a suitable approach to the future development of Dun Laoghaire Harbours listed asset.
