Green Port Hull
An award-winning design and build project, handed over on budget and ahead of programme in July 2017.
It laid the foundations for the Port of Hull’s future position as a world-class centre for renewable energy. Featuring the maiden project of the world’s largest backhoe dredger (Boskalis Magnor), one million tonnes of imported Norwegian Stone and 1.4 million cubic metres of sand, this major £114m redevelopment of Alexandra Dock has revolutionised the Green Port Hull’s functionality. Part of a Joint Venture, Charles Brand designed and constructed the new Port facility to accommodate three offshore wind installation vessels on behalf of Associated British Ports’ (ABP) end user Siemens.

The complex works were achieved through 1.5 million RIDDOR free ‘man-hours’, included infilling the existing Alexandra Dock with 780,000m3 of sea won gravely sand material while reclaiming 7.5 ha of the Humber River to create a new 650m long quay wall. Construction also incorporated the dredging of a new berthing pocket / approach channel to -12mCD. Works were completed five-weeks earlier than the original programme.
