Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Award purpose
The project will modernize a yard at the Portland International Marine Terminal (IMT) that is used for refrigerated cargoes.
Work includes the construction of racks to store containers with refrigerated cargoes, steel frames to house stairs to access containers, lighting, and the electrical infrastructure to enable the containers to be connected to shore power while they are in storage and waiting to be unloaded or transported.
Activities to be performed
The project will expand the IMT's refrigerated container yard to include reefer racks that will increase storage capacity to roughly 420 containers and will perform gate access modifications to Gate 4 at the IMT.
The project includes one component:
Component 1: Gate Access Modification & Reefer Racks Construction
Element 1: Gate Access Modification
Relocate the facility's sliding chain link gate to the northwest corner of the facility to better accommodate traffic flow.
Existing sliding chain link gate will be reused.
Element 1: Reefer Racks Construction
Construction of 12 refrigerated container reefer racks set on pile supported concrete slabs.
Containers will be stacked in blocks of seven containers wide by five containers high.
The racks will have steel frames that house stairs, lighting, and electrical equipment to plug in the reefers while they are stacked in storage and are waiting to be unloaded or transported.
Laydown of 9-inch thick pavement to sustain heavy loads.
Installation of drainage features, lighting, and security measures.
Electrical features including underground primary power distribution to the site.
Pad mounted transformers.
Electrical distribution equipment to support the installation of 150 NEMA 4 times 4 gang refrigerated container receptacles.
Receptacles will be mounted on the support structures, two per floor, and each support structure will also be furnished with two manual transfer switches with 400 amp cam switches.
The reefer rack concrete slab foundations have been designed to a height greater than the site's flood elevation, eliminating flooding concerns of the electrical equipment.
Install automation system to monitor the number of refrigerated plugs online at any given time to meet city decibel limits at the boundary to the residential zone.
