ASCE COPRI Los Angeles - Port of Los Angeles Dinner and Presentation

The Berths 177-178 Wharf Restoration Project is unique in its inception because unlike other projects that are required for maintenance or upgrade, this project stemmed from an emergency. From the ashes of a fire approximately 10 years ago, the design and construction of a new concrete wharf led to the coordination between engineering, environmental, risk management, consultants, and permitting agencies to design a project that suits the current and future needs of the Port, tenant, and other stakeholders. Once construction is complete, the tenant and Port will have an upgraded wharf with increased loading capacity replacing the fire-damaged timber wharf.
