SUBJECT:  Terminal 18 Dock Rehabilitation Project (CIP #C 800600) Briefing 
SYNOPSIS 
This briefing is to describe the current physical condition of the Terminal 18 dock and
provide Commission with an understanding of the future rehabilitation work planned for
the facility. Staff will return to the Commission on March 18, 2014, for authorization for
design related to the rehabilitation of deteriorated under dock structural elements at the 
Terminal 18 facility. 
BACKGROUND 
The Terminal 18 dock is approximately 6,020 feet long and was constructed in seven
stages between 1963 and 1982. In early 2012 a condition assessment was completed for
this dock as well as the other major dock facilities owned by the Port of Seattle. The 
Terminal 18 condition assessment indicates that a number of the under dock structural
elements of the facility are in need of rehabilitation, including the pile caps, piles, deck
panels and sections of the toe wall. 
Port staff will return March 18 for authorization to begin design to rehabilitate the more 
significantly deteriorated sections of the dock.
