Manila International Container Terminal

Manila International Container Terminal

Manila, Philippines
With an annual capacity of 3 million TEUs, ICTSI’s flagship operation is one of the largest nontransshipment ports in the world.
Owner: Manila International Container Terminal
Consultant: GHD
Contractor: Freyssinet

The MICT is situated between the North and South Harbors in the Port of Manila, protruding westward into Manila Bay at the mouth of the Pasig River. Being on the city’s major waterway, it is a crucial facilitator of Philippine trade.

The Problem

An evaluation of the port's infrastructure brought to attention signs of reinforcement corrosion to multiple structures, including concrete piles, beams and slabs. This was due to the corrosive marine environment experienced at every seaport in the world.

Our Solution

Areas of unsound concrete were removed from these structural elements and our Galvashield® XP4 anodes were installed to protect the structures from further corrosion. Approximately 30,000 XP4 anodes were embedded within repairs, overbuilds and enlargements of slabs, beams, pile caps and piles.

The Result

The Galvashield XP4 anodes have been designed to extend the service life of these structures beyond the owners' required service life. The Galvashield set it and forget it system means this solution will require no external power source or monitoring system, saving MICT maintenance costs in the future.
