Victoria Harbour, Australia
ESC’s involvement with the project began with a series of meetings with the project's developers, during which ESC proposed some alternative design options. This eventually resulted in the design being changed from hot-rolled sheets (Arcelor AZ19) to a completely cold-rolled sheet and clutch design, thus saving the client valuable time and money while still meeting all the design criteria set by the designers
Victoria Harbour, located on the western edge of Melbourne’s CBD within the Docklands area, is a unique peninsula landform extending west from Docklands Park to the base of the Bolte Bridge. The 30-hectare site is bounded by the Yarra River and the Victoria Harbour Dock. The site has two distinct base conditions: wharf structures on the edges and terra firma (solid ground) in the center.
A superb extension to Melbourne’s CBD, Victoria Harbour has been labelled ‘the jewel in the crown’ of Melbourne’s Docklands. Vibrant promenades with inviting restaurants and cafes, and walking and cycling paths entwine with some of Melbourne’s most indulgent residential offerings.
Encompassing Melbourne’s newest collection of beautifully appointed apartments, premium penthouses, marina and wharf side homes, upon completion proposed for 2021, Victoria Harbour will undoubtedly become Melbourne’s most exclusive new waterfront address.

The project involves construction a new 240 metre long Combi-Wall on the river, which forms the supporting structure for the new deck and platform, atop which will be built the Podium and 2 Tower Buildings forming part of Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the total site.
The materials supplied by EM comprised of Spiral Submerged Arc Welded (SSAW) pipes and Cold Rolled Clutches and Sheet Piles, all with a High Build Epoxy Marine Coating, which was applied to 10metres of the Tubes and 7 metres of the Sheets.

Pipe Piles inspection.
ESC staff along with the developer's representatives conducted in-plant inspections and surveillance activities at all facilities used in the manufacture to ensure the agreed ITP and Quality Plans were strictly adhered to.
During the 2nd of these inspections the Project Manager accompanied ESC & developer to observe the tube production and painting processes.
The levels of cooperation and the focus on client objectives and outcomes by everyone involved on this project, as well as ESC's ability to provide high quality products and technical support were of critical importance to Lend Lease.
