Pier E Construction Challenges at Port of Long Beach
The Port of Long Beach (POLB) kicked off a major redevelopment project in spring 2011 at Piers D, E and F. The project includes demolition of existing wharf facilities, dredge and fill, ground improvements, placement of rock dike and construction of wharf structure. Approximately 2,900 feet of container wharf is under construction, with the first 1,450-foot segment scheduled to be completed before the end of 2013. The terminal, when completed, will include 4,250 linear feet of new container wharf at Pier E. This paper focuses on the structural challenges overcome by the Design Team during wharf construction. Challenges included the design of structural fixes for pile misalignments up to 48 inches and the design of modifications to crane infrastructure based on new information from the container crane manufacturer. In addition, the Design Team coordinated with the concrete supplier to produce the specified marine concrete mix while dealing with local material deficiencies.
