Phase 1 design included the following features:
- Deepening of the existing berth to provide 16.7 m draft by a combination of dredging and constructing a new piled apron structure in front of the existing concrete caissons.
- Structural modifications to the existing caissons and construction of new crane beams and rails to accommodate 65 LT container gantry cranes.
- New underground services for water distribution, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, natural gas and compressed air system.
- New dedicated 69 kV transmission line servicing the terminal.
- New electrical power distribution and communications throughout the terminal to service building facilities, high mast lighting, container cranes and reefer facilities.
- New pavement structures for the container yard and intermodal yard, new intermodal yard facilities, new maintenance and administration buildings, and a vehicle fuelling station.
- Terminal fencing and security systems, as well as CBSA facilities including Radiation Portal Monitoring facilities.An extensive environmental assessment of the development formed the basis for the Phase 1 environmental approval. WorleyParsons is continuing to work with the PRPA and its partners for the Phase 2 expansion of the terminal.
