CORRIGENDA SHEET (https://www.pianc.org/uploads/publications/MarCom/MarCom-


WG165-Corrigenda-sheet.pdf)

A container terminal pavement comprises one or usually more layers of pavement


construction materials arranged so as to support and facilitate the handling and
storage of containers by a port's container handling equipment over the natural or
improved subgrade on which the port is built. In this regard, container terminal
pavements are similar in character to highway pavements or aircraft pavements.

However, container terminal pavements are required to deal with the following
unique matters:

Wheel loads of container handling equipment can be an order of magnitude


greater than those commonly encountered on highways: highway pavement
design methods should not be used for container terminal pavements.
It is common for container handling equipment to travel in channellised paths:
pavement surfacing materials which have performed well on highways may fail in
these areas.

Braking, cornering, accelerating and running over uneven surfaces increase wheel
patch loads applied to a container pavement significantly. Container terminal
pavements sometimes fail at the locations where these factors predominate.
Containers rest on four corner castings which can easily lead to deformation of
soft surfacing materials.
The sizes and shapes of container terminal pavements introduce onerous
drainage requirements which can lead to pavement materials becoming wet and
damaged.
Slow moving handling equipment can lead to deformation of flexible surfacing
materials.
Container terminal pavements comprise a major element in the capital cost of a
container terminal so their design needs to minimise both the construction cost
and maintenance cost, usually over a fixed period which is related to the
commercial arrangements in place.

All parties involved in container terminal pavements need to recognise the following
potential issues which are dealt with more fully in the remainder of this report. WG
165 would consider the following matters to comprise a distillation of the potential
pitfalls. It is their hope that there will be no more significant container terminal
pavement failures. The remainder of this report seeks to provide information and
analysis which will ensure that designers/ constructors/operators are able to
circumvent any issues resulting from the following factors: materials, design,
maintenance, drainage, settlement, automation, ground conditions and units.
