In March 1997, the Panama
Ports Company SA appointed
Halcrow to provide consulting
engineering services in
connection with the
development of a 350m long
deep-water berth for
post-Panamax container
vessels, at the Port of Balboa,
Panama.
The initial phase of the Scope
of Services to be carried out
under Halcrow's Consultancy
Agreement, required that a
condition survey, including
quay structures and services,
be carried out and a report
produced on existing facilities.
In addition, there was a
requirement for an advance
report on the suitability or
otherwise of Berths 14 and 15
for upgrading to a deep water
(-16m) berth.
