Sun Logistics, L.P. 9 New Ship Dock Construction – Marcus Hook, PA

This project entailed the demolition and rehabilitation/construction of Docks 1A and 1B in the Sun Logistics Marcus Hook Industrial Complex. This $50-million-plus, 2-year project required the complete demolition of the existing roadway and pipe way, loading platform, and two existing mooring dolphins with walkways. The former 1B barge berth was rehabilitated with additional driven piles and structural steel to accept prefabricated pipe modules. A new roadway/pipe way was constructed with new driven piles and precast pile caps and precast roadway beams. The pipe way included structural steel frames prefabricated in multiple 80-foot sections and set in the field for pipe module support.

The loading platform was also constructed with driven piles and precast caps and planks with a concrete overlay. The platform was constructed to handle three more pipe modules and six loading arms. At the loading platform, two breasting dolphins and a crane tower foundation were also constructed. Along with the roadway/pipe way and loading platform, two breasting cells were demolished, re-rung with steel sheet pile, and capped. Six mooring dolphins were also constructed along with walkways. All work was completed on schedule and within budget.
