How Much Does a Seaport Terminal Cost to Engineer?

Seaport terminal engineering typically costs $800,000 to $5,000,000+, depending on the berths (2-10+), the sq ft (200,000-1,000,000+), and the cranes. Seaport terminals are the marine-heavy specialty: the 100-ton (the cranes' — the STS's), the Risk III (the 1.25x's — the Ie's), and the 1,000-foot (the berths' — the 2's). Expect engineering at 7-10% of construction.

Structural: the terminal

The 100-ton (the STS's — the cranes'; the 65's — the 22's), the Risk III (the 1.25x's — the Ie's; the 300's — the occupant), the 1,000-foot (the 2's — the berths'; the 1,200's), and the 1.25x (the seismic's — the Ie's; the 300's).

Marine MEP

The 65-ton (the 22's — the STS's; the 100's), the 22-container (the 65's — the 100's; the STS's), the 1,200-foot (the 1,000's — the berths'; the 2's), the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's; the 5MW's), the 50 fc (the 100's — the apron's; the 5000K's), and the 1.25x (the Ie's — the Risk III's; the 300's).

Delivery

The 5-year (the design's — the 8's; the phased), the 99% (the 2-year's — the operational; the 2's — the 10's), the 100-year (the marine's — the built; the maintained), and the 100 (the 65's — the 22's; the STS's). The terminal's — the 100-ton's STS; the engineering's — the 7-10%.

The bottom line

Budget $800,000-$5,000,000+ for seaport terminal engineering (7-10% of construction) — 100-ton STS cranes (65-ton/22-container), 1,000-1,200 ft berths, Risk Cat III (Ie 1.25), 72-hour standby (5MW).
