Transfield Services North America Transportation Infrastructure

The Port of Miami Tunnel project, a 35-year Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain endeavor, created an undersea tunnel linking Watson Island to the Port of Miami on Dodge Island. Operational since June 2014, the tunnel enhances transportation in the region. The construction and financing involved a public-private partnership to ensure the success of the endeavor. Strategic planning, rigorous construction activities, and operational excellence were key to its completion.

  1. Transfield Services North America Transportation Infrastructure Port of Miami Tunnel

  2. Port of Miami Tunnel Geography Consists of an undersea tunnel link from Watson Island to the Port of Miami on Dodge Island

  3. 35 Year Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain Project (DBFOM) • CONTRACT • On October 15, 2009, the state of Florida and the MAT Concessionaire, LLC (the Miami Access Tunnel consortium) reached final agreement on the Port of Miami Tunnel project, which will be developed as a public-private partnership. • CONCESSIONAIRE • MAT Concessionaire, LLC is held by Meridiam Infrastructure and Bouygues. • Bouygues Civil Works Florida – Construction • Jacobs Civil Inc, – Design Engineer • Meridiam Infrastructure – Equity Partner • Transfield Services – Operations and Maintenance • FINANCING • The project construction and development cost is financed as follows: • MAT Concessionaire Shareholders’ equity $80 million • Private commercial banks loan $342 million • Federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan from the U.S. Department of Transportation $341 million • Pre-determined construction payments from FDOT that are triggered by the achievement of certain construction milestones. $100 million

  5. Tunnel Proposed Alignment • The 3900ft twin tube tunnels will create a new connection under the main shipping channel to the city’s cruise and container port on Dodge Island

  6. Underground Tube Alignment - Conceptual

  7.

  10. Operability & Maintainability Reviews • The full benefit of O&M reviews is often not fully appreciated, this is a critical process for safety critical infrastructure such as tunnels; • Provides the opportunity for the O&M provider to leverage their full capability and real life experience; • Balances the short term and long term life cycle cost objectives between the various parties involved; • Often there is no/little cost impact to incorporating operability or maintainability changes, rather design optimization if identified early; • Often covers criteria that is not covered by regulations, codes or laws: • The end user benefits from a safer more efficient asset.
