Technology of Functional Diagnosis and Rehabilitation for Marine Structure at Manila South Harbor

Koichiro Dohi, Masato Hirakawa, Takeshi Yamamoto
Synopsis :
Kawasaki Steel has undertaken many projects in the Philippines over the years starting with the construction of the Mindanao Works of the Philippine Sinter Corp. in 1974. Kawasaki Steel has been proceeding with the rehabilitation project of the Manila South Harbor, the largest international port in the Philippines, since 1991. Rehabilitation work in developing countries necessitates not only the undertaking of structural rehabilitation, but also functional rehabilitation which is suitable to the task of satisfying the demands of smooth transport operation. Rehabilitation of a port in full operation differs considerably from the construction of an entirely new port. One major difference is the need for total coordination and management in seeing such a rehabilitation project through to satisfactory completion. Work must proceed on a section by section basis relying on careful coordination with all parties concerned. In the project to rehabilitate the Manila South Harbor, Kawasaki Steel has applied a wide range of technologies drawn on its extensive experience in constructing steel works and has been most successful in its management of this most challenging project.
