About This Project
The Challenge
The community on Dauan Island is reliant on marine access to and from the island. Torres Strait Islands Regional Council needed an options assessment for a DDA-compliant, all-tide access pontoon.
The Solution
ICM was commissioned to investigate options for the pontoon, assessing a variety of configurations, dredging, breakwaters and alternative approaches. The assessment covered a review of site environmental conditions, all-tide access and DDA compliance constraints, costing options, and design drawings - considering the site's design challenges to present recommendations for an effective pontoon solution.
