Steering you safely into port

Ausenco’s ports and terminals experience spans over 85 years globally.

We have successfully designed ports for corporate and government clients ranging from small vessel harbours to bulk terminals.

Our engineers have experience with a wide range of marine structures, including but not limited to: wharfs, jetties, spread mooring systems, trestles, fendering designs, seawater intake and outfall facilities, breakwaters, jacket and caisson structures. We have designed steel and concrete marine structures in high seismic zones, able to accommodate dynamic forces from large vessels, as well as harsh ice and wave environments. 

We use innovative techniques to design cost-effective facilities across the globe, along with the highest standards in environmental management and safety.
