SUBJECT:

Terminal 18 Pile Caps

May 10, 2011

BACKGROUND:
Recent Terminal 18 inspections indicate significant concerns with the structural pile caps
that support the concrete dock. Seaport and CDD staff has evaluated the inspection
results. Today's briefing provides a detailed description of the dock structure, the pile
cap problems, and a proposal for moving forward in a manner that least impacts Seaport
finances and business operations.
Port staff will return on May 24th for authorization to begin a pilot project to repair a
small number of pile caps for approximately $1,000,000.
