Berths 144-147 Automated Backland Redevelopment at POLA

The Port of Los Angeles (POLA) recently completed the berths 144-147 backland redevelopment project (Phase 1). This phase of the first automated container terminal on the west coast of the United States consists of four fully automated stacking blocks and two mini automated stacking blocks, and is one of the first terminals in the world to deploy automated shuttle carriers as horizontal transport in conjunction with automated stacking crane (ASC) blocks. The 33-acre site went fully operational in August 2014. The final phase (72 acres) is under construction and expected to be completed in March 2017. This development utilizes a state-of-the-art integration between the terminal operating system technology with terminal navigation systems (equipment operation) and port infrastructure. The construction of the backland infrastructure by the general contractor and the installation of the ASCs and automation infrastructure by the equipment manufacturer were carried out concurrently. This paper presents detailed evaluation, analysis, and design of key infrastructure elements including ASC foundations, sustainable stormwater management, seismic design, and pavement. This paper also presents lessons learned during construction of berths 144-147 automated backland redevelopment based on feedback from the POLA construction division, terminal operator, equipment manufacturer, and general contractor.
