Ports and Terminals
Modern ports are a major investment in capital
and resources. Port operators are increasingly called upon to
demonstrate financial, economic and operational efficiency while
accommodating substantial growth and limiting their impact on local
communities and the environment. Meeting these objectives
requires careful planning and design.
Scott Wilson provides its clients with
development plans and engineering designs that enhance the client’s
business by combining commercial viability, environmental
sensitivity and best-in-class technology.
Scott Wilson has a strong track record of working alongside its
clients to secure the many development consents that are essential
for modern port development projects to be realised.
To deliver word-leading designs, Scott Wilson
draws on its 75 years of experience of the planning, design and
construction supervision of all types of maritime structures
including quays, jetties, and breakwaters; the specification of
cargo handling equipment; and the design of port infrastructure
including heavy duty pavements, dredging and reclamation.
To prepare business focussed masterplans, Scott Wilson harnesses
its expertise and experience in demand forecasting, capacity
assessment, operational planning, stakeholder consultation,
environmental and economic impact assessment, financial modelling,
and business plan development.
