The Port of Oakland (Port) was established in 1927 at which time it became a separate autonomous department of the City of Oakland. The Port inherited old timber pile-supported wharf infrastructure that was then primarily used for break-bulk operations with on-dock transit sheds. These maritime facilities have since been converted from break-bulk to container terminal operations. Although many of the original wharf structures were demolished and rebuilt, many of these rebuilt structures no longer meet today's latest design criteria. Accordingly, the Port of Oakland underwent a system-wide evaluation of its maritime wharf structures to categorize them from the most seismically vulnerable to least seismically vulnerable. Using this information, coupled with the impacts of both operational and retrofitting costs and the Port's financial capacity to perform the improvements, the Port began a series of retrofit projects. This paper will explain the numerous factors the Port of Oakland considered in determining which retrofit projects should be considered and the schedule of those proposed improvements.
