Case Study: Port of Long Beach
When the Port of Long Beach began construction on an extension of its Pier E terminal, it needed a pavement solution that could withstand constant heavy loads as part of daily operations.
The area was designed for shipping container storage and autonomous vehicles, creating repetitive, high-stress traffic conditions. With shutdowns and service delays carrying a high cost, the Port turned to concrete.
Our scope included placement of Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) to depths of 13.5 inches in heavily trafficked areas, and 8 inches in lesser trafficked areas.
Work also included troweling, finishing, sawcutting, and joint sealing. Even when constructing RCC in multiple lifts as was done when placing the 13.5-inch section, the full section could be placed in a single shift, which meant a faster return to operational use for the Port.
