Tyne Clean Energy Park Marine Works
Wednesday, 12th July 2023
Southbay is currently responsible for both upgrading and extending the existing Tyne Bulk Terminal within the Port of Tyne.
The project is being undertaken to enable the berthing and mooring of high-capacity vessels, which will be used to service the offshore renewable energy sector. Originally constructed for the handling of coal, the loading capacity of the berth will be upgraded from 10t/m2 to 20tm/2, with the operational reach of existing quayside craneage also to be increased.
The project involves the removal of redundant structures, installation of 864mm diameter tubular piles, construction of a new reinforced concrete deck slab, and the installation of ladders, bollards and fendering.
The upgraded quayside will form part of the Tyne Clean Energy Park, which is one of the most versatile clean energy sites within the UK, providing development land with direct marine access
