Berths 225-236 Evergreen Terminal
Port of Los Angeles, San Pedro, California


Cash & Associates led a multidiscipline consultant team and provided complete structural and civil engineering services for renovation of the 125-acre Evergreen America Corporation Terminal.  The renovated terminal features a modular mode to allow for directional changes of inbound and outbound lanes to meet fluctuating terminal traffic patterns and future expansion.  Terminal planning and special studies to support the design effort included computer simulations and various analyses.  Results were utilized to develop an efficient, cost-effective facility that maximizes throughput capacity at peak traffic periods and minimizes labor costs during reduced traffic. 


Maintaining ongoing terminal operations during construction was a key element of this project.  To accomplish this, Cash & Associates developed a series of complex schedules.


The focus of the renovated terminal is a new three story Administration Building and Entry Gate Complex.  Other main components designed for the Evergreen Container Terminal include a Maintenance & Repair Building and support facilities (i.e., power shop/engine repair shop, container/chassis repair shop), secondary gate facility, Marine Buildings, inbound/outbound checker booths, reefer wash, Terminal Island Container Transfer Facility gate, guardhouses, and terminal infrastructure (i.e., grading, drainage, site utilities).  A temporary M&R facility was also designed to provide service during construction.
