Demolition consisted of timber, concrete and steel structures, including:

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

Rebuild consisted of design, supply, fabrication & installation of a new ‘floating’ berth, including:

• New concrete floating berth (230 m long x 45 m wide)
• Swing arm-fender panel system, including hydraulic dampers
• Drilled caisson-mooring pylon structure
• Dual level vehicle access ramp & 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 ward-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.
