The continuing increase in world trade and the required extension and rehabilitation of port terminals to equip them for the 21st Century necessitates pavement systems that are cost effective and durable, but that can allow the pavement to be used for different purposes as needs change. They should also be quick to construct so as to speed project delivery. Traditional surfaces have included asphalt concrete and portland cement concrete, but over the past decade a new surfacing material has seen a dramatic increase in its use. This surface is interlocking concrete pavers (ICPs). This paper looks in detail at the role of construction costs and more importantly the automated high tech installation processes of the interlocking concrete pavers. It also discusses life cycle cost analysis of various interlocking concrete paver systems. The findings are based on new research and practical experience gained from recent and ongoing North American projects such as the Port of Oakland, CA, the Port of Baltimore, MD, the Port of New Orleans, LA, the Port of Tampa, FL and reflecting the global focus of the conference, some experience at European ports (Aarhus in Denmark, Amsterdam in Holland, Felixstowe in England), at Asian ports (Singapore and Laem Chabang Port in Thailand), at ports in the Middle East (PSA Aden in Yemen and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia) and also the Port of Rio Grande in Brazil.
