Overview

This railyard expansion project involved connecting and upgrading two existing shipping terminals. The project scope included demolition and removal of an existing container terminal, 1 million cy of earthwork, construction of reclaimed land by connecting Pier E to Pier F which consisted of filling 55 acres of the harbor previously used for ship navigation, 16 Automatic Stacking Crane (ASC) blocks comprised of 40,982 ft (almost eight miles) of crane rail foundation and rail and 96 truck transfer lanes, signaling to support the ASCs, 15 five-story refrigerated container racks, a seven track intermodal railyard with 10,970 ft of ballasted track and a 316-ft wide rail-mounted gantry (RMG) crane spanning the seven loading tracks, track lead connections to Middle Harbor and Pier F that required live track work coordination with Pacific Harbor Line (PHL), seven grade crossings, and container inspection facilities operated by Customs and Border Protection. The vehicle traffic areas required 21,000 cy of base course, 60,000 cy of roller compacted concrete (RCC), 60,000 tons of asphalt, and 20,000 cy of Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement.
