Ports & Harbour Engineering: Smiths Dock
CLENT: Making Places
LOCATION: North Shields, Tyne & Wear
STATUS: Complete
COST: Ongoing
This reclamation scheme has been project managed by Fairhurst’s Ports & Harbour Division for the last four years during master-planning and detailed design stages. The Planning & Development and the Geotechnical & Environmental Divisions have also contributed to the scheme providing detailed design and guidance during both the design and site contract phases.
The site consists of six docks, of which five are to be closed with either new closure walls or sheet piling across the entrance, with the sixth being left open to the river. Fairhurst have designed the four main closure walls to the docks, a 100 meter sheet piled wall, a 300 metre combi-piled wall, 900 metres of flood walls and various quay refurbishment and wall repairs. Three major sewer diversions have been designed and a comprehensive geotechnical & environmental strategy has been produced by Fairhurst to remediate the site.
