The 660m long and 25m tall terminal is divided into five zones along its length via 4 movement joints to mitigate the effects of thermal expansion and seismic relative displacements.

The team adopted a performance-based seismic design methodology using non-linear static pushover analysis as well as non-linear response history analysis methods, and developed an innovative fuse detail at the top of the concrete roof columns to ensure that yielding in the roof steel structure does not occur under Maximum Considered Earthquake shaking.
