Terminal 5 Asset Management Plan

The Port of Seattle maintains an inventory of more than 26,000 lineal feet (7,925 meters) of saltwater waterfront structures of diverse structural makeup, considerable range of age (some dating to the early 1900s), overall structural condition, and desired operational use and loading. As with many Port Authorities, the ability of the Port of Seattle to maintain a current detailed understanding of the condition of its structures has been limited by the availability of funding. As such, rather than through proactive evaluations, much of the available data on facility conditions has been obtained through reactive analyses resulting from events such as earthquakes, lease negotiations, and potentially accidental damages or failures. The Port of Seattle is interested in establishing a more thorough methodology of evaluating its facilities to provide a more comprehensive general understanding of facility conditions throughout the Port. The benefit of this work will be to provide sufficient data to allow more thoughtful planning and identify and plan necessary improvements that may be required to maintain the facility and/or meet lease commitments in the long term. The Port of Seattle is initiating this process through ongoing work at Terminal 5, one of its primary container facilities. The ongoing study process will be used to provide Port staff with the decision making tools required to determine what, if any, improvements are required to maintain the waterfront assets for at least the duration of existing lease commitments.
