Trinity Pier, Harwich – Replacement Cable Tray
We were contracted by Trinity House to replace the cable tray system under their pier in Harwich which had become corroded and was missing many sections resulting in cables becoming loose.

This is another phase of repair works at Ha’Penny Pier which we have been involved with since 2017. This phase concentrated on the entrance area where a number of decking support timbers were found to be rotten.
Following a competitive tender process we were awarded this project to extend the existing slipway using hardwood timber piles and frame with a GRP deck along with an extension to the sloped quay wall using a steel frame and GRP decking.
We were engaged by the Sea Scout group to construct a new reinforced concrete slab for a new boat shed and to concrete the rest of the yard and existing slipway.
Following our successful completion of Phases 1 and 2 we were awarded Phase 3 works which included more concrete slabs to extend their yard further along with ducting, fencing, street lighting and completion of the drainage system and a packaged pump station.
Amicus were awarded this project in early 2020 but the start was delayed due to the Covid virus and lockdown. Once works got underway in the summer we engaged with the client and the community to deliver the first phase of this unique and ambitious project.
Following very poor weather in the Winter of 2019 a section of the old existing quayside timber retaining structure was washed away risking the loss of access to the Harwich and Dovercourt Sailing Club.
Amicus were appointed to fabricate and install the new access ramps and stairs for access to their new corporate function and mooring facility on the Thames adjacent to Waterloo Bridge.
These works were a continuation of HHA’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the pier and involved installing new deck support timbers.
This third pontoon was completed using the same principles as the first two although there were added challenges for this pontoon because it supports the access gangway and mooring facility for boat re-fuelling.
