PORT OF BUNBURY

DRILLING SOLUTION

Project Mission

The mission of the Port of Bunbury project is to:

• Conduct geotechnical drilling for the development of the new marina within the Port of Bunbury.
• Obtain crucial geological data to support the construction and development of the marina infrastructure.
• Ensure the structural integrity and stability of the site to meet safety and regulatory standards.
• Implement efficient drilling techniques to expedite the data collection process.

“Soil Mechanics completed geotechnical drilling for the new marina located in the port of Bunbury.”

Key Objectives:

• Geotechnical Data Collection: Conduct drilling operations to obtain geological data for engineering design and construction planning.
• Safety and Compliance: Ensure compliance with safety regulations and standards to protect personnel and the environment during drilling activities.
• Site Stability Assessment: Evaluate the stability of the site and identify any potential geotechnical hazards.
• Efficient Operations: Utilise drilling techniques to optimise the data collection process and minimise project timelines.

The Challenge of Project

The Port of Bunbury project faces various challenges, including:

• Conducting geotechnical drilling in a maritime environment while ensuring minimal disruption to port operations.
• Achieving accurate geological data collection through various soil layers until reaching competent rock.
• Ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment during drilling operations, especially in dynamic coastal conditions.
• Adhering to environmental regulations to minimise the project’s impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
