DESCRIPTIVE AND EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. Introduction
As regular operations at the First Phase of the ... ... .. Terminal
has started in December, ..., ...
The object of the concession, besides its direct use for the
... Terminal, is to set up industries which may directly or indirectly
benefit from the interaction with the port, either through activities
related to importation and recycling, or those related to manufacture
and export. On the other hand, considering the present situation
with difficulties in the parking of heavy vehicles in the [country]
the facilities may offer a solution.
The new port and ... Terminal shall benefit from a direct railway
connection with the ... International Airport, as well as the
future city at the "..." (to be raised on the new landfills
between .. and ...), ...thus allowing, with the necessary synchronization
of sea, road, rail and air communication, an efficient and non-congested
flux of freight.
2. DEFINING THE URBAN PLAN
The conception of this Preliminary Study results from the analysis
of the intervening elements proposed for its execution, wherefore
we have to consider:
2.1 Concept and scope definitions
Due to the need for port facilities coherent with the ...'s and
even ...'s growth rate, ... has defined the program of intentions,
namely:
2.1.1 To organize an urban plan dividing the site into well-defined
and independent plots, allowing the distribution of a variety
of industries more or less geared to take advantage of the port's
proximity.
2.1.2 To assure parking space for container carrier trucks,
including tractors and trailers, even if originating from other
places.
2.1.3 To consider the need for internal location of container's
warehouses and their placement next to the container's parking
area.
2.1.4 To define service areas for the installation of entities,
agencies and offices related to the terminal's operation and placed
at strategic locations towards the port's outside/inside connections.
2.1.5 To create the necessary compatibility between the existing
... port and the lay out of the Container Terminal extension,
connection and traffic circulation between both.
2.1.6 To create conditions for an easy exchange between the
several means of transportation, assuring easy loading and unloading
operations.
2.1.7 To take into consideration the .. temple existing at the
area of concession, somehow making sure it will remain there,
thus guaranteeing good relations with the population.
2.2 (.. .. ... Urban Plan) Implications and Dependency
2.2.1 Railway connections
The existence of a future .. Railway Station at the area of the
... Port's Second Phase, implies an early definition of the interchange
between the sea and railway connections in order to assure efficient
freight transfer. Therefore, we had to think of train tracks reaching
the Northeast pier, with a 6-meter gap between the edge of the
pier and the external track, a distance that allows for the operation
of the cranes installed at the dock for cargo ships. Two other
sets of tracks were created for the work of the locomotives and
wagons during loading/unloading operations and reverse movements,
with the necessary separation between the first and second set
(16 meters) in order to allow internal circulation of the pier's
cranes. The third track will allow independent return and circulation
of the locomotive.
2.2.2 Road access
The ...'s Main Plan provides for a road that will connect the
landfill located Eastward of the isthmus (a future industrial
area) to the ... area (bay, port, cement factory and oil terminal);
such road will allow a direct connection between this concession
and the International Airport. Since this road is projected to
be a freeway, its accesses will be elevated, thus we consider
it possible for vehicles to reach directly into the central area
of the ... Plan, allowing an easy distribution to all plots; the
exit and connection to that road shall be located outside the
concession area, allowing an access curve with an easy radius,
drawn after the one existing at present.
2.2.3 Sea Access
The port's phase II comprises only the pier located Northeast
and Southeast of the landfill, because the inter-islands landfill
is projected to be extended to reach the area in front of the
...'s concession, that is, reaching into the area located Northwest
of the ...Terminal. .....
2.3 Limitations at the site
The execution of this landfill at the projected site implies taking
into consideration several factors, which may confine the plan's
execution.
2.3.1 Sea deposits and mud
With the implementation of further greater detailed plans, the
performance of some geological trial boring at the site shall
become necessary, in order to define the actions deemed most adequate
to the execution of the landfill, the retaining walls and the
profile of the approachable quay, as well as outlining the approaching
channels. The mud, which varies from 7 to 12 meters thick at this
location, should be drained by vertical means in order to assure
a quick consolidation.
2.3.2 Compatibility ...
Due to the need to grant direct connection with the existing port,
the ground level at the landfill to be executed must have the
same altimetry of 3.5 meters, thus allowing a safe way to hold
tidal changes and granting protection from the waves.
2.3.3 Road Access
The access to the future landfill is limited to the road that
connects the ....l. Such road, with a profile too small for the
heavy vehicles which presently circulate through there, is object
of a project for enlargement ... to be defined whenever the site
alignment figures are issued by the ... (.. .. ). In the future,
most likely in the long term, a connection to the ... freeway
might be possible, but until then, there are no alternatives.
In face of this reality, the proposal took into account to make
possible a free entrance into the area of intervention in order
to avoid conflicts at this main access, as well as to create a
secondary road in order to avoid congestion of internal traffic
at the exit of the port zone.
2.3.4 Dam's water drainage
One of the problems for the execution of this landfill is the
elimination of the existing open ditch, which relieves the dam's
waters. The plan provides a "non aedificandi" area surrounding
the existing temple, which somehow could provide a flooding basin
but would not avoid a forced drainage towards the sea.
.....
.....
.....
The area to Northwest is destined for implantation of industries
that eventually could benefit from the maintenance of a drainage
channel when of the execution of the ... landfill in front of
the ..... This plot is surrounded by two "non aedificandi"
areas, due to the need to keep a distance between the ... overpass
connection and any kind of construction, on one hand, and as a
separation from the area of the port, which in the future may
have a direct connection with ... through this area.
The industrial complex shall also feature four inner and two
external plots, the latter two delineating the main access to
the compound. Between these plots there is a parking area for
machinery and heavy trucks, as well as container carrier trailers,
plus another area destined to the construction of small warehouses.
These two areas are only to be used occasionally for such functions,
since the future overpass connection to ... shall pass through
here.
Concerning the volume of the constructions to be erected, we
propose three different height levels: one, 5.5 meter high, located
under the future overpass, for warehouses and buildings that support
the parking lots; another, 12.5 meter high, for general industrial
buildings and service facilities; and another, 15 meter high,
a slightly raised nucleus at the central area of the urban compound.
......
2.7 Timetable
In order to define a timetable for execution of the landfill and
to implement THE sECOND Phase we propose that the reclamation
be performed by means of a program whereby the removal of mud
is carried out only at the base of the sea wall, wherefore the
rest of the landfill may be initiated with the consolidation thereof
(through vertical drains), less expensive than considering its
total removal. Thus:
.....
