The project scope was to demolish the timber, concrete and steel structures, including:

• Four line dolphins, one turning dolphin, wingwalls, dredging, and associated catwalks.
• Portal frame, ramp towers, upper and lower ramps and aprons.

Rebuild consisted of design, supply, fabrication and installation of a new floating berth, including:

• New concrete floating berth (230 m long by 45 m wide);
• Swing armfender panel system, including hydraulic dampers;
• Drilled caisson-mooring pylon structure;
• Dual level vehicle access ramp and aprons;
• Maintenance service access ramp to concrete berth;
• Foot passenger walkway truss;
• Impressed current cathodic protection system;
• Minimized onsite work with use of floating berth.

Instead of the traditional deep foundation construction, VanPile proposed a floating berth made up of five concrete pontoons. This award-winning concept allowed for a significant reduction in overall project cost and schedule, as well as for the terminal to remain fully operational over the project’s duration.
