Gorey Pier Landing Stage Demolition Works Complete
Ports of Jersey are pleased to confirm that the demolition of the former landing stage at Gorey Pier has now been successfully completed and the pierhead has reopened to the public.
Phase one of this project involved the removal of the upper deck and supporting pillars of the aging concrete landing stage, along with the installation of temporary support bracing between the lower deck and the original pier structure.
As part of the wider improvement works, Ports of Jersey have also resurfaced the pedestrian walkway, and the newly installed railings will be painted to enhance both the area’s appearance and overall safety. Regular users may also have noticed that the external staircase on the terminal building, which provided access for authorised personnel, has been removed following ground investigations that confirmed it was no longer structurally sound.
Ports of Jersey would like to thank Jersey Demolition Contractors for their professionalism and flexibility throughout the works. The team has worked closely with local users and stakeholders to minimise disruption to harbour activities, businesses, events and visitors during the busy summer season.
Ports of Jersey would also like to take this opportunity to thank all harbour users, local businesses, residents and visitors for their patience, understanding and cooperation while these works were being carried out.
Ports of Jersey hopes that everyone enjoys the enhanced and safer pierhead environment as they move forward with future improvement plans.
