Carrier Vessel Nuclear Berthing Site, Guam

Sea Engineering, Inc. was contracted by AECOM to assist with the development of a Master Plan for Carrier Vessel Nuclear berthing sites in Apra Harbor, Guam.  Coastal engineering studies had been previously performed to determine coastal conditions at two sites (Ship Repair Facility and Polaris Point) during extreme weather events (typhoons).

Sea Engineering evaluated the San Luis Beach site as accomplished for the alternative sites previously evaluated.  Field investigations measured ambient currents with Lagrangian and Eulerian sensors.  Using wind and wave data, numerical models determined the loading rate of total suspended solids given a range of dredging scenarios.  The design wave height and water levels were also determined, and horizontal and vertical wave forces on piles and pier decks were calculated.
