In a regulatory filing, Civmec says it has been working on the detailed design elements of the facility with the local branch of the global engineering firm, GHD Engineering, to ensure that the 29,000 sqm, 18-storey high, purpose-built ship and module construction, ship repair and maintenance facility, achieve the best, most efficient, project outcomes.

The construction requires 90 to 120 truck loads of earth removed each day for almost six months from the 7-hectare site.
