Our personnel have experience in a number of aviation developments, which include both landside and airside developments. This requires a full understanding of the operation.

PDM has worked extensively with regulatory bodies such as CASA and the Queensland Ports Authority to achieve the continuation of business operations and meet regulatory requirements.

PDM has extensive experience in managing complex projects in an operating environment in both aviation and marine sectors.

Shute Harbour Redevelopment

Whitsunday Regional Council

Shute Harbour was originally constructed in the early 1960s as an ideal location for a departure point to service local island and reef trips due to its central proximity to nearby tourist attractions. Further infrastructure improvements were completed in both the 1970s and again in the late 1990s / early 2000s.

PDM provided the project management team to scope, manage design, and construction phases for the reconstruction of the Shute Harbour precinct. The project objective was to re-establish the commercial functionality without restricting the ability to future-proof the requirements of the site.

The reconstruction of Shute Harbour includes a sea wall, carpark, fuel facilities, a harbour terminal building and six floating pontoons that create 3 finger pontoons.

Australian Institute of Marine Science

PDM was engaged by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) to manage the initiation of this project by providing Principal professionals to undertake a range of services in developing the project outcomes. These outcomes are driven by climate change response, sustainability, innovation, renewable energy, and energy conservation.

The Project builds on AIMS’s internationally recognised capabilities in marine biodiversity, water quality and ecosystem health, marine microbiology and symbiosis, and impacts and adaption to climate change. AIMS’s mission is “to generate and transfer knowledge to support the sustainable use and protection of the marine environment through innovative, world-class scientific and technological research”.

The Project consists of the following elements:

  • Ocean simulator and seawater enhancements
  • Expanded facilities to support growth in Townsville, including a Tropical Marine Collections Facility
  • Implementation of new technologies to reduce energy consumption
  • A vessel berthing and operations facility in Townsville
  • Darwin Coastal Environmental Research Laboratories Expansion
