New Deck at the Small Boat Harbour, Lerwick

This project was undertaken on behalf of the Lerwick Port Authority in close liaison with the Lerwick Boating Club.

Key Details:

Contract Value: £480,000
Contract Length: 5 months
Client: Lerwick Port Authority

Project Description:

Part of the task involved replacing the former timber deck, used for storing the Club’s yachts, with a new and larger one.  The other element of the job was the reconstruction of the sea wall and the creation of a promenade, with a new concrete wall to support both that and the road.

The contract value was £480,000 and the contract duration was approximately five months.  The deck is formed by H-section piles driven to bedrock with a suspended wooden deck.  The wall is made from precast concrete sections, lifted into place, with mass concrete infill at the back to hold them in place.
