Construction Package Drawings.pdf

The construction package drawings are for the Brownsville Navigation District's Cargo Dock No. 3 Phase 1 project located in Brownsville, Texas, prepared by HDR Engineering, Inc. The comprehensive set of drawings covers a detailed dock reconstruction, including waterside and landside platforms, spanning approximately 446 feet with 22 pile spaces at 20-foot intervals. The project involves installing 36-inch and 24-inch diameter steel pipe piles with varying tip elevations ranging from -110.06 feet to -72.55 feet, precast pile caps, deck panels, mooring structures, ship and barge fender systems, and associated infrastructure improvements.

The project design incorporates advanced maritime engineering specifications, including load capacities for mooring bollards (100 metric tons per double bitt), ship impact considerations for vessels with 71,000 metric ton displacement, and specific engineering requirements for pile installation, concrete strengths, and structural components. The dock is designed to accommodate various marine equipment, including container handlers, mobile harbor cranes, and cement loaders, with precise load distribution and structural integrity considerations. The drawings indicate a comprehensive approach to dock reconstruction, addressing structural, environmental, and operational requirements for maritime infrastructure at the Port of Brownsville.
