Gantry cranes in Southampton Port

High-capacity drainage solution for Southampton Port

Located on the south coast of England, Southampton Port is one of the country’s leading cruise line terminals and vehicle handling ports. It is also home to the second-largest container terminal in the UK, handling over 1.5 million 20-foot containers each year.

With cargo ships increasing in size, Southampton Port underwent a multi-million pound redevelopment to deepen and combine container berths 201 and 202. The new berth (SCT5) will be an impressive 550m long and 16m deep, enhancing the container ports capability to handle the largest container ships from around the world.

Drainage requirements considered for Southampton Port

Withstand load-bearing vehicles

During daily operations at Southampton Port, the concrete surfaces would continuously be trafficked by numerous vehicles, such as gantry cranes. These alone can have a loading capacity of 100 tonnes.

The drainage channel would need to have the ability to cope with such extreme loads and turning mechanisms from vehicles.

High-capacity for an extensive surface area

Accounting for the size of the berth’s surface area, Southampton Port required a drainage solution that effectively drains a large catchment area.

By using accurate hydraulic calculations, and accounting for extreme weather conditions, the correct hydraulic capacity and channel sizing could be specified for the surface area.

The client requested that the network of underground drainage was set to a minimum to save on additional work and cost of pipework/manholes.
