DM MARINE
The Basin Rd
DM Composites was selected to supply and install DM BEAM and DM GRATE as part of the Basin Road Jetty repairs in St Georges Basin, NSW. The project focused on restoring the jetty’s structural integrity, improving safety, and ensuring long-term resilience for both recreational and commercial users.
LOCATION
Situated in St Georges Basin, Shoalhaven, NSW, the Basin Road Jetty is a vital access point within a popular waterway known for recreational boating, fishing, and tourism. It plays a key role in supporting residents, visitors, and watercraft users, contributing to the region’s maritime infrastructure.
OUTCOME
The successful repair of the Basin Road Jetty has resulted in a substantial and enduring upgrade, ensuring its continued role as a vital community access point. With the installation of DM BEAM and DM GRATE, the jetty now benefits from a durable, corrosion-resistant solution that eliminates the maintenance challenges associated with traditional timber and steel structures. The upgraded jetty is well-equipped to endure saltwater exposure, high foot traffic, and the rigours of a
coastal setting.
CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS
The Basin Road Jetty upgrade was a smooth and efficient process, ensuring the structure remained a vital access point for the community. By incorporating DM BEAM and DM GRATE, the project benefited from high-quality materials designed for long-term durability in marine environments. The pultruded FRP profiles used in the project provide exceptional strength and resistance to peeling, rusting, or warping. Their lightweight yet robust design allowed for quick and straightforward installation, ensuring minimal downtime while maintaining structural integrity. With seamless integration into the existing framework, the jetty now offers enhanced safety, reduced maintenance, and long-term reliability, providing a durable and resilient access point for both residents and visitors.
