PORTS
A port is a maritime facility which may comprise one or more
wharves where ships may dock to load and discharge
passengers and cargo. Although usually situated on a sea coast,
some ports can be miles inland, with access to the sea via river
or canal.
SHIP CANALS
A ship canal is a canal especially intended to
accommodate ships used on the oceans, seas or lakes to which
it is connected, as opposed to a barge canal intended to carry
barges and other vessels specifically designed for river
and/or canal navigation.
Ports and Ship Canal Failure Causes
Poor Design and Fabrication
High variation in ambient temperature
Effect of seawater to the construction materials
Severe Corrosion
Congestion of Ships
Environmental Hazard (Flood, Earthquake, Tsunami etc.)
Accidents (Boat Crash)
Poor Maintenance
Type of Ports and Ship Canal failures
Material Deterioration Damage of components
Scouring
Collapsing of wharf / Settlement
Sedimentation
of Foundation
Ports and Ship Canal Maintenance and
Rehabilitation includes
Steel repair and painting

Epoxy injection into small Cracks on deck and supported
beams
Removal of plastered concrete and cleaning of surface
Subject rebars replacement and re-concreting of damage

Airport Runways Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Includes
Airport maintenance means any work carried out to keep airports runways excellent
condition, keep their operations running smoothly and meet the high safety standards
Though over time some of this infrastructure experience failures due to a lot of factors.
That’s why Maintenance and rehabilitation is being carried out regularly to these
transportation infrastructure at a fixed interval or as and when damage is observed.
This maintenance might scale to minor inspection, repairs to major rehabilitation and as
such.
