GMW’s 2015 Winter Works program included one particularly innovative project in the form of the maintenance works on Mildura Weir and Lock 11.
To complete the works, GMW built a moveable steel cofferdam.
Cofferdams are structures used to create dry spaces so works can be carried out below the waterline.
They are rarely transportable, but GMW constructed the custom-built cofferdam so it could be wheeled across the concrete trestle-way that holds Mildura Weir.
The project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget.
