In the past five years KPFF Consulting Engineers has designed several intermodal rail yards for container terminals including: Pier T at the Port of Long Beach; Terminal 18 at the Port of Seattle and Terminal 5 at the Port of Seattle. Because every shipper operates differently, every intermodal yard must be designed differently. This paper will describe some of the ways that each of the designs was affected by the operational methods of the terminal tenant, possible future changes in terminal operations, and the opportunities and challenges of each site.
