Project Description

The Government of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) expanded the existing facilities at the Cruise Ship Pier at Wickham’s Cay I in Road Town in order to accommodate the berthing of larger mega-cruise ships that have entered the Caribbean market, capable of accommodating 4,000 passengers.

As a design-build project the works included widening and extending the existing Cruise Ship Pier, dredging by cutter suction dredger for a turning basin in Road Town Harbour, land reclamation in the vicinity of the Road Town Jetty, and construction of a boardwalk.

Our Role

RAM was retained by the joint venture to lead contract and design management. Our scope also included:

• Providing project scheduling and drafting services for temporary works.
• Produced a Project Quality Management Program and implemented it with the site staff and subconsultants.
• Overcoming challenges, which included an accelerated construction schedule and long lead time for procurement as most material needed to be barged onto the Island.
