FRPD’s scope included:
- 120m Berth extension
- Dredging to deepen the Berth to minus 15.5m depth

- 42” diameter pipe piles,
- Cast in place concrete deck structure
- Vibro densification ground improvement

- Utility installation for sanitary, storm and water
- Civil electrical installation including concrete encased ducts and pre-cast chambers

asphalt surfaces and
installation of pre-cast storm water treatment chambers for ocean outfalls.
Challenges:
- Reconstruction of a major container facility without disruption to marine,
rail and trucking operations - Adhering to strict environmental requirements protecting air and water quality
- Due to heavy design loading in the container facility, stringent quality
control guidelines and practices needed to be followed
