McConnell Dowell's 'Canti-Traveller' is a purpose-built temporary mobile platform that facilitates fast, safe, low-impact construction of piled marine jetties and piers.

The innovative system, designed and fabricated by our in-house team, provides a platform for progressively installing new piles, propelling itself along the new jetty alignment using hydraulics. 

A piling gate fixed to the front of the Traveller allows pitching and driving of piles in a vertical position. If required it can be used to install raking piles using the gate’s hydraulics.  The piling gate also provides a working platform for cutting piles and welding headstocks.  Bent spacing can range up to 24 m to 27 m, and it has a system for changing direction. The traveller supports a 450 tonne crawler crane, if required.

One of the primary advantages of the Canti-Traveller is its minimal ecological impact, not touching the earth except for the permanent piles it both drives and sits atop. Removing the need for marine-borne plant, it also operates independently of marine conditions, offering significant program and cost certainty.  This makes the Canti-traveller particularly effective in design and construct projects where the program can be optimized for maximum efficiency. 

We have a proven track record of successful installations in environmentally sensitive areas and a reputation for delivering safe, efficient, marine solutions for our customers. The Canti-Traveller reinforces McConnell Dowell's leadership in marine innovation and construction.
