2015: Mildura Weir Works Complete with Moveable Cofferdam

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.
