Work kicks off on Ocean Reef Marina new breakwaters January 28, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
Construction works on two breakwaters for the exciting Ocean Reef Marina project are underway, reports the Government of Western Australia.
The two-kilometre-long breakwaters, each rising up to 18.5 metres from the ocean floor, will protect boats and users within the marina.
The breakwaters will have a limestone core, surrounded by granite, for protection from the elements.
Approximately 650,000 tonnes of limestone rocks – ranging from 0.5 to three tonnes each – and 300,000 tonnes of one to 10-tonne granite rocks will be delivered to the site from early March.
Some granite and limestone from the existing breakwater will also be reused.
