ABSTRACT
COMPAS, one of the largest solid bulk-handling operators in Colombia, has embarked upon a simultaneous program of upgrade and expansion at two of its critical facilities. The paper will describe how adopting custom precast concrete elements allowed executing schedule-sensitive upgrade works in the operational terminals minimizing downtime. The first terminal described in the paper is located in Barranquilla (BAQ) on the west bank of the Magdalena River while the second terminal is located in Tolu in the Gulf of Morrosquillo.
