Local collaborations for aluminium jetty parts in a US$14 million project fortifies Western Australia's economy

EDITED BY : 2MINS READ

Global Trade Sales, a Wangara-based company, won a two-year contract worth US$14 million in May last year to design and construct five new jetties at Hillarys Boat Harbour and replace one jetty at Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour. As part of the contract, up to 90% of the contract value will be spent within Australia, with the majority of this being local WA affiliated.

Collaboration with local suppliers has resulted in the floating modules, fendering, and aluminium frames for the new jetties being 100% manufactured in Western Australia, with the aluminium being sourced from Western Australia (WA) and other Australian mills.

At Hillarys, work on constructing a realigned 3.5-meter-wide central floating walkway is nearing completion. This will provide continued penholder access while work is undertaken to demolish and replace jetties F, G, H, and J with the WA-made, modern, low-maintenance, floating infrastructure.

The contract has also seen the replacement of Jetty 3 at Fremantle with the new locally-made products. Upon completion, the projects will provide around 115 newly completed pens, sized between 10 and 22 meters, at two of the best locations in the metropolitan area.

Future of Aluminium in Transportation Sector

The local WA manufacturers amplified their production lines to supply major components that are conventionally made overseas, which has resulted in a significant portion of the contract value being spent locally, benefitting the WA economy.
