| Construction of New Products-Berth for 80 000-DWT Vessels Satoru Kenmochi, Tamotsu Kimura, Ichiro Okumura |
|
Synopsis : A new products-berth was designed to accommodate vessels up to 80 000 DWT, thus providing cost savings in ocean freight charges. In Chiba Works the design of the new products-berth was an absolute necessity, in order to utilize the cargo handling equipment and techniques more effectively and economically. The berth is a quay-type wharf structure supported on steel pipe piles. A structure 300-m long and 41-m wide was designed, with a dredge depth of -15.5 m. In this project, each work of dredging and pile installation was completed by using measuring systems. For example, it was necessary to monitor potential movement of the existing concrete-caisson sea wall. This project has three innovative technological features: the KST cantilevered pile driving system for marine structures, polyethylene film coated steel pipe piles, and pile driving control using the wave equation. |
