ASCE OC YMF Port of Los Angeles Tour

By: Taki Chrysovergis

On March 13, 2015, ASCE YMF and OC Geo-Institute hosted a boat tour to the Port of Los Angeles.  The tour was led by four civil engineers of the Port.  The attendees were given an introduction to the Port’s history, previous construction projects and challenges, and upcoming construction.  The attendees then took the boat tour around the harbor and got a unique perspective on the scale of the shipping system in addition to the container terminals, the Ports-O-Call Waterfront, various construction projects, and the Vincent Thomas Bridge.
