Fast Facts

We're upgrading the Queen Sālote International Wharf for the Tonga Ports Authority. The port is the country’s main international port and a lifeline for the people of Tonga, with an estimated 98% of the country's imports arriving by sea.
This critical infrastructure upgrade will achieve several objectives including modernising and climate-proofing the facility, increasing container capacity, and improving overall port operations.
Our main scope of work includes an extension to Wharf 2 to better accommodate larger vessels, construction of a new dolphin between Wharf 1 and 2, construction of new dolphins on the eastern side of Wharf 1, reconstruction of Wharf 1, and general improvements such as reorganisation, new paving, drainage, smart lighting, waste management, and firefighting.
To ensure that the port remains operational with minimal disruption during construction, we are completing our works in three phases, with a mix of marine and onshore work.
We will predominantly self-deliver the works, supported by carefully selected specialist subcontractors who offer expertise and efficiency in delivering works in the Pacific region.
