Building Sustainable Coasts and Marine Infrastructure to Accommodate Commercial, Residential and Leisure Demands

The amount of export volume is growing. Can the current infrastructure support this growth?

As global demand for Australian resources remains high across the iron ore, coal and gold sectors it is putting immediate pressure on current marine infrastructure to meet this demand and retain its competitive position globally. Strategic investments are occurring right now for marine infrastructure to be developed, port dredging to create wider berths and deeper channels, breakwater design to manage tides as well as the continuous coastal engineering to rehabilitate and maintain existing coastal structures.

To add to this, as climate change becomes more evident it is imperative you take action now and adapt marine infrastructure to withstand future environmental predictions

Increasing the Life-Span of the Marine Infrastructure through Effective Material Selection and Best Practice Asset Management Strategies

Australian marine infrastructure is now being developed for the large trade volumes that are inevitably going to wear marine structures down. Because of the quantity of trade, downtime due to neglecting maintenance is not an option.

Ensuring the right materials are chosen to enhance durability is an integral part of marine structure design, as well as effectively adopting strategic maintenance plans that will proactively monitor and correct potential sources of damage as they become apparent.

Key topics being addressed:

  • Best practice planning, design, construction and material selection to deliver durable marine infrastructure projects on time and to budget
  • Increasing the lifespan of marine infrastructure through effective maintenance management planning
  • Designing infrastructure that is equipped to last the durations that are expected
  • Methods of achieving maintenance standards in marine structures that avoid the unforeseen flow on cost of unchecked corrosion
  • Exploring funding options, delivery models and tender evaluation and selection
  • Accommodating inter-modal facilities through effective planning

How to get the most from your marine structures………

Coasts and Marine Structures 2012 will be the most comprehensive and in-depth supply of technical and practical insight into the planning, design, development and maintenance of recently designed and built marine structures. Through two days of detailed case studies you’ll learn the take home solutions that were employed by the experts behind Australia’s most interesting projects.

Take advantage of our expert panel and the further networking opportunities available through our comprehensive workshops conveniently taking place immediately before and after the conference sessions on both days.
