Abstract
The Port of Houston Authority's Barbours Cut Container Terminal has created new terminal area, providing the Port with the opportunity to redevelop existing terminal infrastructure that is up to 20 years old. Design criteria were developed using equipment and operational parameters to define the redevelopment options. A study of terminal cross sections was conducted to evaluate the benefits of the sections with respect to the design criteria and to select a preferred cross section for the terminal redevelopment plan.
