Shanghai port Luojing harbor phase II ore terminal locates at Luojing district of Baoshan in the south coast of the Yangtze estuary. It is a specialized 200 000 DWT bulk cargo terminal. Considering the geologic,topographic, technological and loading conditions, we may adopt RC piles, PHC pipe piles and steel pipe piles for the terminal. According to the section design, we make comparisons on the technology, economy, construction, as well as the impact on the environment. It is concluded that the PHC pile is the type with the optimum technology,the least cost and easy installation under the loading condition of specialized bulk cargo terminals. Moreover, this type of pile has the least impact on the environment.
