Meta Waterworth, Australia: designed, planned and costed from public data | Offshore Constructor

Waterworth, Australia: a second ship would not move the date. Meta's Waterworth runs from Darwin through the Torres Strait to the Coral Sea, with spurs to Karumba and Townsville. From the public referral we built the segment in Offshore Constructor and planned it around the seasons: cyclones November to April, the strait in winter, the Coral Sea in October. What the plan says: Ready for service 9 February 2030, with one ship or with two. The consents and the Coral Sea window set the date. 360 km of route in under twenty metres of water, and tides up to three metres per second: shallow work by barge spread, scope by scope. One ship about 199 million dollars. Ploughing the shelf: 226 million, ready at the end of April 2030 instead of February.
