Port buildings for salt spray and open-water storms
Container freight stations, bulk sheds, ro-ro and passenger terminals for Philippine ports – designed for large openings, coated for C5 marine exposure and built to take port traffic.

The harshest address in the country
A port building stands in direct salt spray, takes typhoon winds straight off the water and lives with forklifts, reach stackers and trucks. We design for the high internal pressures of wide doors and open sides, and treat berth canopies and walkways as the critical uplift cases.
Coating systems are specified for C5 exposure – often hot-dip galvanizing plus paint – and details are kept simple so water and salt cannot collect.

Summary for orientation only – the project specification, the adopted code edition and the authority having jurisdiction govern.
Engineering
Typhoon winds off open water
Exposure D – open water – gives the highest wind pressures in NSCP 2015. We check the whole load path from roof sheets to anchor bolts for it.

Frequently asked questions
Can you deliver directly to the port site?
Yes. Under DDP we deliver to the site gate; for port projects this is often the same port where the steel is discharged.
Galvanized or painted?
For C5 sites we usually recommend galvanizing plus a paint system; we compare life-cycle cost with you.
Ready to price your building?
Send the layout, the site location and your target date. We reply with a frame concept, steel tonnage and a CIF or DDP price.
