Port of Long Beach

Brief

Over the past several years, The Port of Long Beach has embarked on a significant amount of new construction, including the Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement; Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility; Anaheim Street Improvement Project; and the Green Port Gateway. The Port’s construction management team required support and training in the areas of claims avoidance, management and mitigation during this critical time of major capital improvements.

What we did

HKA provided claims support on several Port projects, resulting in the resolution of lingering disputes that were otherwise heading towards litigation. The Port selected HKA to develop and present a training programme to their internal construction management team on topics relating to claims avoidance, process and claims mitigation.

Outcomes

HKA successfully supported the Port with claims management, mitigation and avoidance consulting and brought in industry-leading experts to train their team. The training resulted in improved skills and processes that lowered the risk of future disputes.
