As part of the nine-year, $1.62-billion Port of Long Beach Middle Harbor Redevelopment Program, Arcadis provided full construction management services under a five-year, $31-million contract for Phase 1. Multiple upgrades include wider and deeper channels, wharf construction, backlands development, shore-to-ship power, expansion of on-dock railyard facilities and construction of a fully automated container terminal. Project highlights include a new 304-acre terminal and a new 4,200-ft concrete pile-supported wharf with three deepwater berths that support 18 shore-to-ship gantry cranes. The team was challenged to meet tenant-driven milestones amid a host of interrelated conditions, which included coordination of 10 prime contracts that were performed concurrently and within close proximity to one another. Some construction contracts had overlapping work areas.
