1 Introduction

Beca has been engaged by Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) to carry out the preliminary

design for the proposed Queens Wharf upgrade to accommodate extra large cruise vessels.

This report has been prepared to accompany a resource consent application for modifications to the

cruise vessel berth at Queens Wharf, including a double mooring dolphin, fendering and bollards,

and associated strengthening of Queens Wharf.

The berth modifications are required to accommodate new generation extra large cruise ships, with

the design vessel of the 362m long ‘Oasis of the Seas’, capable of carrying more than 6000

passengers. Cruise ships up to 348m already visit Auckland and at present, vessels too large to be

berthed at Princes Wharf or Queens Wharf have to be berthed either within the Commercial Port or

in stream in the harbour holding position on thrusters, which is not sustainable given the increasing

number of these large vessels and security, safety and Port operation issues.

The purpose of this document is to describe:

The physical berth requirements for new generation extra large cruise ships.

The proposed modifications to the existing cruise berth.

Other documents address traffic, noise, ecology, heritage, navigational safety, and constructability.

Chainages referred to within this report are related to the Ports of Auckland chainage designation

for Queens Wharf whereby 0m chainage is located 21m from the root of the wharf at Quay Street.

All levels referred to in this report are in terms of Chart Datum (CD).

Detailed structural design calculations have not been undertaken for the dolphins at this stage.

Some preliminary design, however, as discussed in Section 4, has been conducted to confirm the

dolphin sizing and likely number of piles. This report is only intended to inform the resource consent

process. The design philosophy and methodology will be undertaken in the next engineering design

stage as described in this sections 2 and 3 of this report.

Figure 1 - Design Vessel Mooring Arrangements

2.2 Services and Ancillaries

2.2.1 Navigation and Operational Lighting

Navigation and operational lighting has been provided in the form of steel light poles. Electrical

ducting has been routed to the base of each light pole.

2.2.2 Pedestrian Gangway

When the infrastructure is not in use, public access is enabled to almost 40m of the gangway. A 4m

retractable section has been provided where the gangway connects with the first dolphin to restrict

pedestrian access to the dolphin structures. The gangway will be 2.3m wide where public access is

provided for along the first section of gangway from Queens Wharf until the retractable section, with

the gangway between the two dolphins where only operational access is permitted being 1.4m

wide.

2.2.3 Electricity

Allowance has been made for electrical supply ducts on the mooring dolphins. Electricity supply

would be provided by a ducted cable from the existing wharf deck to the dolphin along the gangway.

The electrical supply will need to traverse the retractable gangway section to reach the dolphins,

this may be by submarine cable at this location.

2.2.4 Ladders and Buoys

An allowance has been made for ladders at each of the mooring dolphins. Each ladder is

anticipated to extend from approximately 0.0m CD to top of deck level.

2.2.5 Fenders

Light fendering only is anticipated to be provided along the vertical faces of the mooring dolphins.

2.2.6 Security Gates

Two low level security gates will be provided on the gangway at the start of the gangway at

chainage 0m and before the retractable gangway section at chainage 36m.

3.2 Geotechnical Design Parameters

Geotechnical investigations undertaken in 2009 for seismic assessment of Queens Wharf have

been used to assess ground conditions at the location of the proposed dolphins. These are located

about 80m to the south of the outer dolphin. No site specific investigations have been undertaken

due to extensive geotechnical data available in the harbour and Beca’s existing understanding of

the underlying sandstone rock structures.

3.2.1 Geology and Historical Information

The Geological Map 2, Geology of the Auckland Urban Area, Scale 1:50,000 (1992) indicates that

the site is underlain by Waitemata Group East Coast Bays Formation.

3.2.2 Soil Profile

The soil profile encountered in the boreholes on Queens Wharf is summarised below and shown on

Figure 2.

Recent Marine Sediments – Very soft silt and clay to depths between -11 and -15mCD. Geonor

shear vane testing was undertaken in 2 machine boreholes, measured shear strengths were

between 1 and 11 kPa.

Pleistocene Sediments – Stiff to very stiff silt was encountered below the recent marine

sediments to depth -26m CD.

Waitemata Group Rock (WGR) – WGR (SPT N > 50 blows/300mm) dips from the southern end

of the wharf to the north. Based on BH1 and 5 rock is estimated at around -26mCD.

The key geotechnical issue relating to the mooring dolphins is lateral support from the underlying

soil and rock. The preliminary engineering design parameters developed from the adjacent

boreholes are summarised in Table 4 below.

3.3 Design Loads

Design loads are in accordance with the New Zealand Building Code, AS/NZS1170:2002,

NZS1170.5:2005, AS4997:2005 and the New Zealand Transport Bridge Manual NZTBM 3rd Edition.

Refer also to the design criteria in Appendix B.

3.3.1 Permanent Loads

3.3.1.1 Dead Loads

Dead loads have been derived from material weights and structural component dimensions used for

construction. The following densities have been considered for this design package:

Precast Concrete 26.5 kN/m3

Reinforced concrete 25.0 kN/m3

Steelwork 78.5 kN/m3

Soil 18.0 kN/m3

Wood /Timber 10.0 kN/m3

3.3.2 Live Loads

3.3.2.1 Vessel Mooring Loads

The wharf will be used by extra large cruise ships. Seven 150t bollards have been placed along the

seaward face of the wharf at the southern end of Queens Wharf, and two new mooring dolphins

have been provided at the northern end of Queens Wharf. Three 150t bollards have been provided

on each of the mooring dolphin’s eastern faces and three 150t bollards on the western faces.

In the previously undertaken preliminary design calculations, consideration of the load combinations

and sensitivity checks have been carried out by assuming that up to three bollards will be fully

loaded to 150t (1500 kN) and one bollard will be partially loaded with the remainder of the mooring

load and also assuming that all four bollards share the load equally. During the next stage of

engineering a similar design approach will be undertaken for the revised dolphin and bollard

arrangements. A factor of safety of 1.5 has been adopted for mooring loads.

3.4 Environmental Loads

3.4.1 Seismic Loads

Seismic design has not been analysed in any detail at the preliminary design stage as the mooring

loads are the governing load case. Seismic loads are expected to be relatively small due to the total

mass of the dolphin structure being relatively small (approximately 1,400 kN lateral load at SLS

compared with 5,000 kN lateral mooring load at ULS).

During detailed design the seismic design will be carried out in accordance with NZ1170.5:2004 and

NZTMB 3rd Edition. An equivalent static force-based design approach will be adopted.

Design Life: 50 years

Classification: 2

Limit State Factor: Ultimate Limit State (ULS) Ru = 1.00 for 1/500 APE

Serviceability Limit State (SLS1) Rs = 0.25 for 1/25 APE

Site sub soil classification: C (Shallow soil sites)

3.4.2 Tidal Levels

The following tidal fluctuations have been considered for the site, see Table 5. All tidal levels are

relative to the Auckland Harbour Chart Datum (CD) which is approximately the level of Lowest

Astronomical Tide.

Tide Condition Level (m CD)

Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) 3.70m CD

Mean High Water Springs (MHWS) 3.39m CD

Mean Low Water Springs (MLWS) 0.41m CD

Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) 0.05m CD

Table 5 – Design Tidal Levels (LINZ, 2017)

3.4.3 Sea Level Rise

It is noted that the Auckland Unitary Plan predicts that a 1m sea level rise could occur over the next

100 years.

The mooring dolphins have been designed with the deck level 0.5m below the existing Queens

Wharf deck. It has not been specially designed to raise the deck level in the future.

3.4.4 Current Loads

For design purposes current velocities of 0.2m/s have been adopted from existing modelling studies

of the Waitemata Harbour.

3.4.5 Temperature Effects

Overall and differential temperature effects have been considered in accordance with the New

Zealand Transport Agency Bridge Manual 3rd Edition. Allowance was made for forces and

movements resulting from an overall temperature change of ±20ºC. Temperature gradient through

the depth of the structure was taken from the New Zealand Transport Agency Bridge Manual 3rd

Edition. Cracked section properties were adopted for the analysis of reinforced concrete members.

3.4.6 Wind Loads

Wind loads have been considered in determination of mooring loads acting on the wharf and

mooring dolphins. For Oasis class vessels the wharf is not designed for wind loading in accordance

with the New Zealand loadings code NZS1170, which requires a 30 second gust speed of 35.2 m/s

(68 knots) as from POALs simulations they will apply an operational ‘clear berth’ limit protocol at 40

knots. POAL have requested an increased design wind speed for the mooring system of 50 knots.

3.5 Design Mooring Loads

We have undertaken mooring analysis for the scenario of the Oasis of the Seas berthed against

Queens Wharf east to determine the likely structural modifications required to accommodate the

vessel at Queens Wharf.

The Oasis of the Seas has been modelled to represent fairlead locations for westerly wind

conditions and the profile of the ‘flat-side’ of the vessel to pick up interactions with the fenders for

easterly wind conditions. We have assumed that each fender cluster structure on Queens Wharf

load multiple pile bents.

We have investigated wind directions of easterly, north-easterly, south-easterly, westerly, north-

westerly and south-westerly. Northerly and southerly wind directions have been omitted as the

windage area looking bow/stern on is not a governing case. Both the operating wind speed of 40

knots and the design wind speed of 50 knots have been analysed. Summary results from the

mooring analyses are shown in the table below:

4 Design Development

4.1 Mooring Dolphins

It is anticipated that, based on the results of the mooring analyses undertaken, the mooring dolphins

will be of a similar size and construction as the dolphin at Fergusson Wharf in Auckland. The

dolphins will consist of a reinforced concrete deck supported by six to eight 1.8m diameter steel

cased reinforced concrete piles, socketed 10m into the Waitemata sandstone rock strata (-36.0m

CD). The diameter of the dolphins is 15m.

Consideration was given to using raking piles instead of vertical piles, however this would likely

result in the pile protruding beyond the footprint of the deck below the water line which may pose a

navigational risk. Additionally, a dolphin solution utilising raking piles was found to offer no

significant reduction in dolphin size of material quantities. Considering the additional construction

complication of installing large raked piles, and therefore the increased costs, this option was

discounted.

4.2 Dolphin Gangway

Access to the first mooring dolphin will be provided by three to four gangway spans up to 21m of

2.3m wide consisting of a 650mm deep single hollowcore precast unit with 200mm deck slab cast

insitu. Access between the two dolphins will be provided by one gangway span up to 21m of 1.4m

wide consisting of a 650mm deep single hollowcore precast unit with 200mm deck slab cast insitu.

The gangways will be supported on 1200mm diameter steel cased reinforced concrete piles capped

with a precast concrete capping beam. Consideration has been given to minimizing the visual

impact of the gangway leading to the dolphin. For this reason, a reinforced concrete gangway

structure is preferred over a more visually intrusive steel truss structure.

The first gangway span will facilitate a change in level from +5.50m CD to +5.00m CD at a slope

gradient of typically 3.5%, with a maximum gradient of 5% permissible.

The gangway balustrades will be Webforge standard balustrade panel or similar approved with a

protective coating applied with a matt black finish to the landscape architects requirements.

4.3 Southern Bollards and Wharf Modifications

To accommodate the new extra large size of cruise ship, seven 150t bollards will be provided

adjacent to the seaward face of the southern end of Queens Wharf, as indicated on drawing

3232840-CA-K-001 provided in Appendix A and in Figure 3 below.

A 3-dimensional SAP 2000 model was used to analyse the demands on the existing wharf due to

the increased bollard loads. The deck elements were modelled as a grillage of longitudinal and

transverse members with section properties defined according to the size/spacing of the deck

beams. Pile and pile bracing elements were modelled as line elements with section properties

defined according to the pile and bracing dimensions. Soil interaction was modelled using Winkler

Springs. Only limited drawings are available of the existing wharf and several assumptions had to

be made in relation to the structural layout of the wharf, in particular the location and arrangement

of the pile bracing. Further investigations will be required in the next design phase to confirm the

wharf general arrangement and dimensions in the vicinity of the bollards.

Bollard loads were applied as described for the mooring dolphins under sections 3.3.2.1 and 0

above.

Analysis indicates that, in a global sense, the loads can be satisfactorily distributed around the

structure without exceeding the assessed/assumed structural capacities of the main members

(beams, piles, bracing). However, it is noted that capacities have generally been assessed using

comparative load methods rather than assessing specific capacities based on reinforcement

arrangements. This method is considered normal and adequate for preliminary design given the

lack of information and uncertainty in some of the reinforcement detailing/arrangements.

Accordingly, it will be necessary to carry out investigations to confirm the reinforcement

arrangements at selected areas in order to confirm capacities.

However, the geotechnical capacity of the existing piles to resist tensile (uplift) loads as a result of

the applied bollard loads were found to be an issue. The existing piles comprise square reinforced

concrete elements which were driven down to the top of the underlying sandstone. Geotechnical

tension capacity is achieved through friction between the pile surface and the surrounding ground.

Because the depth and quality of the soil surrounding the piles (above the sandstone) is limited, the

friction and therefore tension resistance provided is negligible.

To address existing pile tension load deficiencies in the vicinity of the bollards, it is proposed to

install five additional 600mm diameter bored piles through the existing wharf deck, directly beneath

the position of each of the new bollards to accommodate uplift loads. To allow installation of the pile

a small area of the existing deck will be broken out (approximately 1500mm by 1500mm), between

the transverse beams.

To address local load demands where the bollard is connected to the wharf, it is proposed to

position the new bollards slightly further back from the deck edge than the existing bollard positions

and within an area of deck slab framed on three sides by the transverse beams and a longitudinal

beam. Positioning the bollards within a section of deck slab, rather than over a beam, avoids the

complication of trying to install the bollard bolts through the beams and potentially damaging the

beam reinforcement. Additionally, the applied load is shared amongst the beams rather than applied

directly to just one beam. The small area of the existing deck which was broken out to

accommodate the pile installation will be reinstated by drilling connection bars into the sides of the

adjacent beams and then casting a thicker (approximately 600mm) reinforced section of slab

(inclusive of bollard hold down bolts) above the new pile. Refer to Figure 3 below for indicative

wharf strengthening arrangements to accommodate the bollards.

A topographic survey will be undertaken during detailed design to accurately locate the positions of

the heritage rail lines that traverse the area that the new southern bollards are required to be

located in. Minor adjustments to the bollard positions may be undertaken to avoid damage to the

existing rails. Where the concrete deck is to be broken out to strengthen the slab and install piles

underneath the new bollards hydro demolition techniques will be used leaving the rails intact. Once

the thickened slab is poured, the existing rails will set into the deck slab once again. No heritage

rails will be removed from the deck of Queens Wharf.

4.4 Additional Fender Clusters

Additional fender systems have been provided at chainages 90m and 290m to protect the wharf

from damage and help absorb kinetic energy of a berthing vessel. It is intended that the fender

cluster design will match the existing fender clusters located at chainages 130m, 170m, 215m and

250m.

4.5 Maintenance Dredging

The berth will be dredged to provide the notified depth of 10.5m below Chart Datum. This caters for

the design ship draught and under keel clearance, which allows for vessel movements at the berth.

The dredging is within the maintenance dredging envelope that is already consented under Ports of

Auckland Ltd’s Permit 34673.

1 Introduction

Beca has been engaged by Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) to carry out the preliminary

design for the proposed Queens Wharf upgrade to accommodate extra large cruise vessels.

This report has been prepared to accompany a resource consent application for modifications to the

cruise vessel berth at Queens Wharf, including two mooring dolphins, fendering and bollards, and

associated strengthening of Queens Wharf.

The berth modifications are required to accommodate new generation extra large cruise ships, with

the design vessel of the 362m long ‘Oasis of the Seas’, capable of carrying more than 6000

passengers. The proposed dolphins will be located 49m and 82m from the northern end of the

centre of Queens Wharf.

This document details the standards, information and loadings that will be used in the design of the

dolphins and associated infrastructure. It will also serve to define the design loads and parameters,

material characteristics and design methodology intended to be adopted for the design.

8 Environmental Loads and Effects

Item Details Status When Agreed

Wind

For Oasis class vessels the wharf is not designed

for wind loading in accordance with the New

Zealand loadings code NZS170, which requires a

30 second gust speed of 35.2 m/s (68 knots) as

from POALs simulations they will apply an

operational ‘clear berth’ limit protocol at 40 knots.

POAL have requested an increased design wind

speed for the mooring system of 50 knots.

Temperature

The load effects arising from thermal expansion and contraction of the structure assume local temperature oscillations of ±20°C.

Rainfall From Auckland Council TP108

Waves

The height and period of the significant wave estimated during the design life of the structure will be included in the load analysis of the quay structures. The maximum expected significant wave height at the site is 0.2 metres and the wave period is estimated in the order of 4 seconds.

Seismic Design

Ultimate Limit State: Importance level 2 (1/500 – year earthquake) Serviceability Limit State: SLS 1 (1/25 year earthquake)

Geotechnical

Existing site investigation parameters from previous work in the area. Refer to note on geotechnical parameters.

Climate change

Pile system to be designed to take a 1m rise in deck level in the future

Copy:

Subject: Queens Wharf Cruise Upgrades - Decommissioning Methodology Technical Memo

The purpose of this technical memo is to detail a method of decommissioning the new mooring

dolphins and piled gangway structures to be constructed off the northern end of Queens Wharf

once the operational life of the structures has been exhausted.

The Dolphin structures comprise of a reinforced concrete deck slab supported by reinforced

concrete filled steel tubular piles, 1800mm in diameter.

To demolish the deck slabs, it is anticipated that either a mechanical breaker will be used or hydro

demolition equipment utilised to break-out the concrete, the steel reinforcement may then be cut

using mechanical tools or flame cut. It is likely that these operations will be conducted from marine

based plant, likely a jack-up barge. Figure 1 shows hydro demolition being used on Queens Wharf

during remediation of the piles.

Figure 1 Hydro demolition during Queens Wharf remediation works

To remove the piles, it is envisaged that they would be cut-off at seabed level. In order to do this it

is likely that 1m depth of marine sediments will need to be excavated locally around the piles to

allow cutting equipment to be positioned to make the cut at bed level. It is likely that equipment

commonly used in the Oil and Gas industry for decommissioning platforms and pipelines would be

used such as a diamond wire cutting saw, see Figure 2. This equipment is commonly used for

cutting through grout filled steel members up to 2.2m in diameter and can be mounted on an ROV

or operated by a crane.

3232840 // NZ1-15556377-3 0.3

Figure 2 Diamond Wire Cutting Saw

The gangway is expected to be decommissioned in a similar manner to the dolphins as the deck

and piles are smaller than those on the dolphins.

The timber fender piles are likely to be either vibrated out of the seabed in one piece using a vibro-

hammer or can be cut off at seabed level.
