Port Engineering

For more than 60 years, APTIM has provided global port authorities with integrated port facility and equipment engineering services, developing new facilities or rehabilitating aging infrastructure for operational resilience and future growth.

The advanced age and deteriorating condition of critical infrastructure at many US ports presents daunting engineering and funding challenges for federal, state, and port agencies. With limited budgets, coordinating major rehabilitation and replacement of aged seawalls, piers, wharves, cranes, and warehouses to meet modern demands and standards is a complex undertaking requiring strategic priorities and relationships. APTIM is your port authority’s experienced partner for maintaining operations and implementing upgrades.
