United Harvest & TEMCO Kalama Facility Modernization

Overview

HME was contracted by United Harvest and TEMCO to perform marine structural upgrades at their Kalama export terminal. The project included the installation of 80+ high-strength steel piles to modernize and reinforce the facility’s marine infrastructure, ensuring long-term operational reliability for bulk commodity exports.

This project required precision pile driving and dock reinforcements while maintaining continuous export operations. The improvements were critical for supporting increased cargo throughput and vessel loading efficiency.

1. The Challenge

• Upgrade and reinforce aging marine infrastructure while maintaining operations.
• Install new pile foundations for long-term structural stability.
• Minimize disruption to ongoing terminal logistics and cargo handling.

2. The Solution

• Installed 80+ steel piles to replace aging structural supports.
• Utilized vibratory and impact pile driving techniques for efficiency and durability.
• Completed work on schedule while maintaining full export operations at the facility.

3. The Impact

• Enhanced dock stability for increased vessel loading capacity.
• Extended facility lifespan with reinforced marine infrastructure.
• Supported ongoing bulk export operations with minimal disruption.
• Improved safety & efficiency for terminal logistics and cargo handling.

Conclusion

HME’s work at the United Harvest & TEMCO Kalama facility reinforced the critical export infrastructure necessary for efficient bulk commodity movement. The successful completion of this project highlights HME’s expertise in marine construction, pile driving, and terminal modernization.
