Whyalla Marina, s.a.

Walcon Marine Australasia recently completed the design and construction of a new floating marina upgrade for the town of Whyalla. The scope of work included the demolition and removal of the old marine structure at Whyalla Marina, and then the design and construction of a new heavy-duty floating system that used the existing pilings. FRP Micro Mesh was used for the deck surface, providing the council with a low maintenance and cost effective solution. Due to the non-corrosive properties of FRP, it has an expected service life of more than 50 years. Rolec service pedestals were also used in this project, which provided electricity and water to the pencil holders. Whyalla is located approximately 400 km northwest of Adelaide and has a small population of around 20,000 people. Walcon used local subcontractors to promote economic growth in the region. A great project that Walcon got involved in, leaving the City of Whyalla and his penholders extremely happy.
