Wharf Geometrics Controls The wharf controls shall refer to the Control Section of the Design Criteria and

Standard Plans under General Criteria, (Ref. 29) for specific instructions as to su rvey controls. Vertical Datum The vertical datum for the POLB is based on NGVD 29 (National Geodetic vertical Datum of 1929), with MLLW elevation = 0.0 feet. The City of Long Beach uses NGVD 29 with MSL elevation = 0.0 feet. As a reference, tidal elevations are prov ided in Table 5-1 for NAVD 88 (North American Vertical Datum of 1988) and NGVD 29. Monuments The Project Plans shall show the location and type for installation of baseline monuments. The Port survey section shall provide the required locations and type of monuments. Wharf Elevations Wharf elevations shall be determined to maintain facility operations under all t idal conditions. Where applicable, the wharf elevation shall also match that of adjac ent facilities, unless directed otherwise by project-specific criteria. Wharf elevat ions for RORO, barge loading and unloading, and special purpose docks are to be determined by project-specific criteria. Crane Rail Elevations The top of crane rails (except for wheel flange notches) shall be level with the adjacent deck surface. The top of rail elevation is dictated by drainage conditions for t he wharf. This normally results in a relative elevation difference between the waterside a nd landside crane rails, due to deck transverse cross-slope. If cross-section eleva tions differ, crane design shall accommodate elevations differential by specifying crane legs to match. The longitudinal elevation of a crane rail shall be constant. Typical rail elevations are at +15.0 feet for the waterside crane rail. The land side crane rail elevation is based on minimum grade requirements, typically 0.75%. The allowable tolerances for the top of crane rail elevation shall be 1/8 inch, and 1/16 inch for any 10 feet along the rail length.
