Rio Tinto Dampier Salt Operations Mistaken Island Mooring Dolphin Repair Project

摘要

The Rio Tinto Dampier Salt Limited mooring dolphins were constructed in 1971 in conjunction with the load out wharf and ship-loader platform at Mistaken Island in the Burrup Peninsular Archipelago, 1250km north east of Perth and 21km northwest of Karratha in Western Australia. The kolphins or ship berthing stations are used for the shipping of up to 4.2 million tonnes of salt per annum. The dolphins comprise seven reinforced concrete platforms 7.5m long × 4.57m wide by 1.55m to 2.15m deep supported by ten steel encased reinforced concrete driven piles.
