Conoco Phillips New Ship Dock

Provided the bridge concept studies, cost studies and designs for the 280’ long Approachway bridge (typical spans 45’) and the two up and down river Accessway bridges (485’ and 487’ respectively, with typical spans of 60’) in the Delaware River connecting the new Conoco Phillips ship dock to their refinery. The study required the investigation of structural steel beams, precast concrete beams and precast segmental sections as superstructure alternatives and two foundation alternatives. The bridge configurations are prestressed concrete beams with a precast concrete deck supported on pile bents with composite steel pipe pile/HP pile foundations.
