Abstract

The Texaco Wharf Maritime Port Facility is a major marine docking structure located off the northern coast of Honduras that has replaced a 1940s-era steel frame docking structure and access bridge. The structure comprises precast concrete piling and superstructure components that combine precast and cast-in-place concrete. The construction methodology almost completely eliminated the need for on-site formwork and proved to be very successful in producing a high quality docking project in a short time frame. This article presents the design parameters, construction challenges, and erection highlights of the project.
