Plaistow and Royal Primrose Wharves
Keltbray Ltd
Project Value:
£1.45mDates:
Nov 21 – May 22
Coming Soon
Overview
The Port of London Authority are planning to open the 200m long Plaistow and Royal Primrose wharves to commercial river traffic and business use. A condition survey was carried out to evaluate the condition of the wharves and give recommendations for repair prior to use. Keltbray were appointed as the Principle Contractor for the works with GPS Marine and Civil Services (GPS MACS) subcontracted for the works.
The PLA acquired three adjacent wharves, Peruvian, Plaistow, and Royal Primrose over the last five years as part of its Investment Plan, in order to bring them back into use for cargo handling. The PLA’s total investment in site acquisition and improvements readying them for operations is some £20 million.
- Enabling Works
- Site set up
- Preparation of the site including installation of crane mat
- Probing pile positions to identify potential ground obstructions
- Marine Works
- Installation of UKC piles to face of wharves driven into the riverbed
- 2 no. dolphin pile installation 15m long x 610 dia tubular piles
- Campshed bed levelling
- Repairs to campshed with installation of gabion baskets along collapsed edge
- New Concrete Slab
- 160 no. 22m long x 610 dia steel tubular piles
- 600mm thick RC slab suspended on the new piles
- Precast unis used for the beams with in-situ deck pours and stiches to the piles
- Royal Primrose Wharf
- 90 no. 126 x 610 dia x 20tk tubular piles
- New RC slab
- Grading of wharf area
- Concrete facing repairs
Wharf furniture and lifesaving equipment installation
Design
- Full design of the new wharves
Construction
- Complete construction of the full scope of works
Project Management
- Obtain the necessary river works licences from the river regulators: Port of London Authority, Environmental Authority and the Marine Management Organisation.
- Management of delivery, from desisgn stage through to construction and commissioning.
Engineering
- Stability analysis for the barges
- Deck loading analysis for the barges
- Planned, supervised, and carried out all lifting operations on site (landside and marine).
- Design and installation of temporary works, namely pile gates and access walkways
- Site engineering including quality assurance, setting out and surveying, drawings, coordinating works and planning of operations
Marine Logistics
- Planned, supervised and carried out mobilisation of all marine plant to site. Including floating crane transfers.
- Passage plans for challenging tows
- Delivery of material barges, planned around the tides to ensure site was always stocked with material for the works.
- Utilised the following key sites for supporting the project:
- Port of Tilbury
- Royal Docks, London
Other Projects
Nearshore / Inland Warerways
Working on the challenging tidal River Thames
Health and Safety
Working on the challenging tidal River Thames
Innovation
Due to the previous uses of the wharves there were a large amount of ground obstructions presenting high risk to the piling operations. As such we incorporated the existing substructures into our design, eliminating the risk and reducing the amount of piles to be installed.
Conservation and Regeneration
Plaistow and Royal Primrose wharves form the riverside heart of a cluster of marine/industrial activity in East London, underpinning the low carbon movement of cargoes along the river, keeping lorries off the capital’s congested road network
