TIMARU GUNS FOR WESTERN EXTENSION

A consent application has been lodged by PrimePort Timaru to progressively extend the western end of its North Mole container facility. Ultimately creating an overall wharf length of 650 metres, the project will also see the expansion of breakbulk and bulk handling facilities, and construction of a sheetpile wall with land filled and capped in a solid concrete deck. 

Furthermore, its Number Three Wharf will be  progressively removed and  dredging increased in front of the facility to ensure larger ships can be worked through a full tidal range.
