Contributor Velsink, H. (mentor) Groenveld, R. (mentor) Schreuder, M. (mentor) Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 1993-05-09 Abstract The pipavav port in western Gujarat, India, will be developed in two phases, one projected for 1997 and the second for 2010. In the first phase four terminals are projected on the northern side of the bay. (See appendix II for a map of the project site.) One of these terminals will be a multi-purpose terminal for the handling of bagged rice and bagged foodgrain, iron scrap and other general cargo as well as containerized and ro-ro cargo. The cargo will in the first phase be handled by ships gear, supported by one heavy mobile crane and in the second phase t w o additional rail mounted gantry cranes will be installed on the quay. The terminal is projected as a reclaimed island with a solid gravity type berth, connected with the mainland by an approach road. Open and covered storage will be provided directly behind the apron. Warehousing will take place on the mainland. The length of the quay will be 275m for two berths. The projected cargo volume will be 290,000 tons in the first phase and 1,1 20,000 tons in the second. The second terminal will be a so called common user bulk terminal for the handling of oil cakes, salt, fertilizer and fertilizer raw materials and coal. The loading will be done by one shiploader with an effective loading capacity of some 750-1000 ton/h. Unloading will be done with a grab unloader of 700-900 ton/h capacity discharging directly on a belt conveyer. Open and covered storage will be provided directly behind the apron in the form of wind row arrangement and storage sheds. The terminal is located directly westward of the multi-purpose terminal. It shares the same approach road. The inland transport of both terminals will be with trucks which can discharge and load on the reclamation. The length of the quay is 425m hosting two berths. The projected cargo volume will be 2.4 million tons in the first phase and 4.1 million tons in the second. The third terminal will be a dedicated cement terminal of 185m. The terminal will be situated southwest of the common user bulk terminal and constructed as a piled jetty connected to the mainland by a partially piled, partially earth dam approach road. The fourth terminal will be a dedicated copper smelter terminal for the import of dry bulk and the export of liquid bulk. The terminal will be connected to the cement terminal on the southwest side, sharing the same approach road. Storage facilities will probably have to be provided in the vicinity of the terminal or else on the mainland, near the factory. The length of the quay will be 195m for one berth.
