Analysis Software Used in Liquids Berth Trestle Structure Design

Madsen Giersing, an Australian consulting engineering firm that specializes in marine engineering and construction solutions, was commissioned to design a new bulk liquids berth at Dampier, Australia, one of the country's largest ports. The berth or dock consists of four independent berthing and mooring dolphins (or groups of piles) and a 490-meter-long access trestle or bridge that leads out to a 37.4 x 34.3-meter loading platform, from which up to 65,000 Dead Weight Ton (DWT) tankers are to be loaded.
