Function: Effective retaining wall system easy to handle, transport &
installation in sea / waterway.
Types of retaining structures in Waterfront Structures:
1) Ship Berthing Area
2) Key Wall
3) Breakwater
4) Slipway
Ship Berthing Area: Where ship stops for loading / unloading
operation

Retaining Wall
Bollard load: Depends on the terminal capacity to cater for type / size of ship, bollard
loading (to tie ship) can be 50 ton at spacing 30m c/c. This will affect the design
requirement of anchorage force anchor wall at the back. Typically bollard can be
collapsible or anchored into capping beam.
Container area: Depends on the staging height of container, the surcharge loading at wall
area is much higher than assumed for normal construction vehicle load. Typically container
area surcharge can be 30kPa 50 kPa depends on the loading / unloading activity.
Ship Impact: As ship is coming to berth at this area, high impact loads (depends of size of
ship, velocity of ship coming) will transfer to fender. Then depends on how the impact force
is transferred to capping beam of retaining wall and dissipate to the back of wall.
Consider hydraulic filling operation that might cause additional impact load to retaining
wall.
Design Requirements:
Serviceability: Less strict control on the deflection
requirement where more than 100mm deflection is
allowed.
Retaining wall service life is long term, > 50 years.
Thus sheet piling protection by permanent coating,
catholic protection, sacrificial / additional steel
thickness for corrosion.
Consider toe scouring effects in

Installation in rough sea conditions guided frame, suitable
machinery (vibro machine with right frequency to suit soil condition +
drop hammer).
Pre-boring requirement (depth & location) for hard soil conditions.
Key Wall: Retaining wall for platform of harbour / jetty terminal

Reduce load on high

Practical use of relieving platform to

reduce top portion surcharge and soil load

Additional loads of wave impact.
Thus requirement for retaining

Breakwater: To stop / reduce sea wave impact
Overview of breakwater structure:
Wall height is normally high, > 10m and tie back double wall.
Additional high loads for wave impact. Thus requirement for retaining wall
to form continuous & rigid barrier is important. All the connection must be

Normally site conditions extending from shoreline will encounter loose
sandy soil beneath.
Design Requirement:

waterfront structures.

Design Requirement:
Construction sequence might need free standing
sheet piling to withstand wave impact before tie

Consider toe scouring effects in retaining design

Water pumping is required. Thus consider water
tightness of sheet piling, wider section will have less
opening of interlocks.
