Ever wondered what goes into the pontoons, piles and berthing systems your marina relies on every day? This two-day study tour is about the infrastructure behind marinas. You'll go inside the facilities where it's designed, engineered and made.
You'll visit three of the region's leading marine infrastructure businesses, Bellingham Marine, Marine Structures and Wagners, and follow the whole journey from the factory floor to finished marinas and wharves.
Who should attend?
- Operators planning a future redevelopment who want to understand their options before going to market
- Anyone facing major maintenance or upgrade projects who wants to know how infrastructure is built, how long it lasts and what to look for
- Anyone who wants a better understanding of how marina infrastructure works, from engineers and designers to contractors, suppliers and marina staff
What you'll see
- Bellingham Marine & Marine Structures factory tours: watch pontoons and marina infrastructure being manufactured, and hear from the teams who build them
- Wagners at Pinkenba Wharf: tour the world's first major Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) and composite fibre marine wharf structure
- Four Gold Coast marinas in one morning, including superyacht and mega yacht berthing
