LYTTELTON PORT OF CHRISTCHURCHWHARF AND SEAWALL STABILISATION TRIALGENESIS PROJECTS SERVICES  PROJECT DESCRIPTION   Management of ‐   ECI design‐build procurement process  LPC’s Cashin Quay 2 container wharf was destroyed during the 2010 and  Ground stabilisation trial  2011 Christchurch earthquakes. LPC needed to replace this structure with a  Engineer’s Representative to trial contract  seismically resilient container wharf that allowed for the berthing of 14.5m  Project closeout  draught vessels. However, insurance constraints at the time meant that the proposed new wharf could be no wider than the original wharf. To meet these  requirements LPC needed to substantially improve the stability of the edge ofPROJECT TIMELINE  the Cashin Quay reclamation and this required specialist international engineering and construction expertise.  October 2012 – April 2014   As there was no similar project experience in New Zealand, the project team selected an Early Contractor Involvement design-build project deliveryVALUE  approach. Following a Registration of Interest and Expression of Interest  Contract ‐ $3.4M  process two USA based contractor teams were selected to participate in an ECI process and to deliver tenders for both trial and production works. Raito  Inc. was awarded the contract to undertake the works using Cement Deep Soil Mixing (CDSM) with its single auger RAS column system.CONTRACTOR and CONSULTANT   Raito Inc   Opus International Consultants  Following completion of a successful trial, the contract was terminated when LPC reached an insurance settlement and was able to alter the design of the wharf to a 34m wide structure with flatter batter slope, thereby avoiding the requirement for stabilisation of the reclamation materials at depth.Contact  Derek McFadden  Mob: + 64 [0]27 22 66 414  Email: [email protected]

This project involved a rare compression of multiple project stages into a few months: design, contract documentation and construction ran in parallel; coal loading continued within metres of construction works; and the works were tested by a significant earthquake during construction.Contact  Derek McFadden  Mob: + 64 [0]27 22 66 414  Email: [email protected]
