PORT DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION & DREDGING Aerial view of the breakwater at the Port of Mackay 32 October 2019 thedcn.com.au
NQBP A recent conference in Hobart shone light on how ports have recovered from natural disasters and how others are preparing to handle them in the future. By David Sexton Just before 1pm on February 22, 2011, as many kiwis were enjoying their lunchbreak, the great Christchurch Earthquake struck. Some 185 people were killed and the beautiful old city devastated. Nearby Port of Lyttelton, the major port for the South Island and New Zealand’s third largest port overall, was not spared. DCN reported at the time that the port had been “severely damaged” with a witness at the port describing some of the chaos. “I was there on wharf when the asphalt started flying around,” the witness told former DCN reporter Rhiannon Zanetic. “I saw a building fall down. It was pretty terrifying – it was almost unreal.” The quake, a magnitude of 6.3, had been preceded by a larger quake in September 2010 that apparently weakened some of the city’s infrastructure. In terms of port infrastructure, the quake caused massive damage to wharves, tunnels and administration buildings. thedcn.com.au October 2019 33
