With dockside (or quayside) cranes getting bigger and bigger, the capacity of existing docks to support higher wheel loads is becoming a real issue.  We can help by re-evaluating the capacity of your docks using modern computer analysis techniques.  Because older docks were often designed conservatively, this often results in justifying a significant increase in allowable wheel loads without any physical work.

If work is needed to upgrade or modify your dock, we can provide design services targeted to minimize construction costs to maximize your capital investment.

If you are planning new docks, how large of cranes should you design for to get a long life from your large capital investment?  We can help using our proprietary software that estimates future crane sizes and wheel loads based on projected growth patterns.

Have you considered seismic loads for your docks?  We can provide full dock design services for new docks and upgrades.  Check out our seismic design capabilities.
