Nowra Sails Project

About The Project

Shoalhaven city council contracted Jirgens civil to construct the Nowra sails project. The 100 year old piles of the sailing club were to be retained as a legacy item which required the project to be constructed around them.

The heritage listed Nowra Sailing Club was irreparably damaged by fire in 2017.

The site geology provide significant challenges which saw 16m 502 steel piles installed to carry the weight of the wharf and viewing platform.

Floating pontoons and architecturally designed shade sails added the finishing touches to the project.

Vaughan made a great assessment of my requested job and suggested some features and enhancements I had not considered. When the team arrived they were really clear on what needed to be done and fell upon the job with enthusiasm and professional care. For all that, I felt in control of the process throughout. The job progressed really quickly and was completed to a much higher standard than I had hoped for. The attention to detail (even with "big" earthworks) and the care of my existing infrastructure was impressive and confidence-building, even when there were some unexpected but inevitable setbacks (a stormwater pipe that I was unaware of was damaged, but quickly assessed and repaired). Overall, a relatively painless experience that has resulted in a magnificent end product of a solid (and beautiful) road and driveway. The cost was well within my expectations for the work conducted. Well done to the Teams, and thanks Jirgens for a brilliant job.
