Southbay Civil Engineering Nears Completion of Tyne Dock Enterprise Quay Wall Phase 2
Southbay Civil Engineering is proud to announce that construction is entering its final stages on the Tyne Dock Enterprise Quay Wall Phase 2 project — a significant addition to the region’s growing portfolio of high-quality marine and port infrastructure.
The project involved the design and construction of a 90-metre quay wall, complete with full anchorage, successfully delivered within a live operational environment.
All piling operations have now been completed, including the installation of a combi wall system comprising 29 tubular steel piles, each measuring 1,422mm in diameter and 20m in length. The new quay has been designed to provide a bearing capacity of 10 tonnes per square metre, supporting future growth in the renewable energy sector and wider port operations.
In addition to the quay wall, the project includes comprehensive berthing facilities such as fendering, bollards, and quayside ladders — ensuring long-term functionality, safety, and durability.
To date, the project team has successfully achieved over 50,000 work hours without a single accident or environmental incident, reflecting Southbay’s ongoing commitment to health, safety, and environmental excellence.
Beyond marine construction delivery, Southbay has continued to invest in the local community, contributing to social value initiatives throughout the project. This has included hosting an educational presentation and site visit for Benfield High School students, as well as providing a work placement opportunity for a Newcastle University student, helping to inspire and support the next generation of civil engineers.
