What Gladstone does to a aquatic construction build
Coastal industrial — heavy salt air corrosion plus port-adjacent air quality considerations. For aquatic construction specifically, the exposure that matters is chloride attack on fixings, handrails, grating and plant-room components. Our response on Gladstone sites is marine-grade or titanium plant specification, sacrificial detailing on exposed metalwork, and grout selection that resists both salt and biological growth. Developer and head-contract work here is programme-driven: the vessel sits inside someone else's critical path, so crane access, transfer-slab loading and acoustic isolation from the tenancy below are resolved during design rather than negotiated on site.
