FULL PROJECT DETAILS
The Port Botany Terminal 3 project involves constructing a new container terminal for Sydney International Container Terminal Limited, which is owned by Hutchison Port Holdings, the largest freight operator in the world. Blitzsteel is undertaking the civil works and associated services over a 46 hectare reclaimed area and includes approximately 100,000 m³ of concrete paving.
The project involved the following works:
100,000 m³ of concrete batched on site, adopting the latest steel fibre technology
200,000 m² of rigid pavement, engineered to deliver the smartest design and value for money
three high-voltage substations to power the facility
multiple kilometres of in-ground services reticulated through more than 1000 service and pulling pits
46 hectares of ground improvement works
structural and rail elements to support the heavy-duty quay and stacking crane systems
rail siding works, consisting of track slab and ballasted construction
11 km of deep drainage, constructed in difficult tidal conditions and a sensitive environment
The works were being delivered through a combination of self-performing and subcontract delivery. As principal contractor, Blitzsteel was responsible for coordinating multiple interfaces with other contractors on site.
Port Botany Terminal 3 is directly related to the growing infrastructure needs of New South Wales. The project demonstrates Blitzsteel’s ability to be the contractor of choice for integrated port and rail-related freight expansions.
