RECONSTRUCTION work on one of the main freight berths at St Peter Port Harbour is almost complete.

The upper deck of one of the berths, where two of the existing cranes are, was demolished during the summer and a new section is being constructed.

New steel-lined reinforced concrete piles have been installed to support the new structure and provide the required load-bearing strength for the mobile cranes.

This operation has involved drilling through the existing jetty into the bedrock beneath the berth.

The steel reinforcement on the first section of the replacement deck was finished recently and concrete has now been poured over it.
