THE MEDIA VOICE OF THE GLOBAL MARINA INDUSTRY

Piers replaced at QEII Marina

CHANNEL ISLANDS: Walcon Marine has successfully removed and replaced piers D and E in the QEII Marina, Guernsey. The £1.4 million contract for Guernsey Ports involved a total of 500m (1,640ft) of walkways and finger pontoons.

The piers involved sit in an exposed position near the marina entrance where heavy swells can occur. To protect the 130 larger leisure boats that moor in this part of the marina, Walcon used its Heavy Duty pontoons.
The contract is part of a wider £10 million programme of investment in QEII Marina’s infrastructure as much dates back to its construction in the 1980s and is thus past the end of its design life.
Jenny Giles, head of infrastructure delivery for Guernsey Ports, said it was once again a pleasure to work with Walcon. “Replacing piers D and E was a major logistical operation, but it went smoothly and the new piers were in place ready for the new season. We are confident that they will give many years of service to our customers,” she noted.
