| Synopsis: A roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) facility was contructed in the main port area at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia by Kawasaki Steel Corp. This facility was planned as a national project and the work was started in November 1985 and completed in August 1986. The facility consists of a RO-RO steel ramp structure and hydraulic system including an electric control system with a new access bridge and berthing facility. It was designed to accommodate special RO-RO vessels in the range of 70 to 180 m in length, stern and/or bow ramps for cargo handling. The new concrete access bridge and the berthing RO-RO structure are supported by polyethylene coated steel pipe piles which have superior resistance to corrosion, unlike pipes protected by ordinary bituminous coatings. This report discusses the engineering design, fabrication and installation of the hydraulic system and RO-RO ramp structure, and construction aspects of the marine work. |
