Ports & Harbors

The project involves the rehabilitation of the existing 200m x 20m jetty owned by Holcim Philippines and located at the Poro Point in San Fernando, La Union. The existing jetty was constructed in 1994 and exhibited extensive signs of concrete deterioration. The existing rubber fendering system was already non-functional due to dilapidation.

Repair and strengthening of the existing damaged concrete piles was performed by applying epoxy injection and glass fiber-reinforced polymer. The existing fendering system was replaced by new and modern technology fenders using high grade rubber suitable for a cargo ship of 30,000 DWT.

ACO performed the detailed engineering design and construction supervision services for the project.

The project consists of the marine facility as part of the SM200 – 200MW Coal Fired Power Plant Project of Sarangani Energy Corporation located in Sitio Tampuan, Barangay Kamanga, Maasim, Sarangani Province.

The marine facility consists of the following:

• Unloading Wharf – Will provide the unloading areas for offshore transportation logistics for heavy equipments such as boilers, turbines, etc. It has a berthing length of 30m and includes the main berthing structure using steel sheet piles with waler beams and tie rods, road and pavement, fenders and bollards, and dredging for berthing.
• Access Causeway and Trestle – The access to the main jetty consisting of a 20m long road and pavement causeway, and a 60m long trestle consisting of a 3 – 20m span pre- stressed concrete deck girder superstructure supported by tubular steel piles.
• Mooring Dolphins and 2 – 20m long Walkway/Catwalk.
• Coal Unloading Jetty – This consists of a 200m long working platform deck using pre-cast and cast-in-place concrete girders and slabs with bollards and fenders, and supported by tubular steel piles. It is supporting a grab crane type unloader (450 t/h), conveyor and four movable coal receiving hoppers. It will also allow the unloading of a 35,000 TDW Handymax bulk carrier and a 10,000 TDW barge.

ACO performed the detailed engineering design and construction supervision for the project under a design and build contract of Northbay Construction, EEI Corporation, and Daelim Industrial Co. Ltd.

The project is a Ferry Terminal located at the SM Central Business Park, Bay City, Pasay City.

The terminal will serve as a loading and unloading hub for passengers bound for Bataan, Batangas, Mindoro and Aklan.

The pier consists of an open type finger wharf with reinforced concrete deck supported by concrete piles. The Pier is 15m wide by about 100m long, and was designed for light vehicle access on the pier deck. The pier deck will be protected by rubber fenders and will be fitted with navigational lighting.
