Petroleum Offload Facility Reconstruction
Substructure undertook a four-month design/build rehabilitation of a ship berthing cell at a commercial terminal while maintaining active cargo on-load/off-load capabilities. The project included welding nearly 3,000 custom-designed/fabricated studs to the surface of the existing cell – approximately two thirds below water – for attaching the epoxy-coated structural reinforcing cage. The project required design and fabrication of more than 100 custom components and placement of 250 cubic yards of marine-grade concrete (three different mixes during seven separate pumps) to meet specific placement and structural requirements.
This complex project included over 500 crane lifts, 247 commercial dives, 2,340 linear feet of driven sheet pile, 4,000 square feet of surface preparation with 20,000 psi hydro blaster, 2,000 linear feet of structural welding above and below water (carbon and stainless steel), 7,800 pounds of reinforcing steel placed on vertical surfaces, and 250 yards of concrete placed by pump truck. Substructure’s exacting attention to safety resulted in successful completion of this demanding project without accident or injury.
During the project, Substructure team members, using one of our modular push barges, facilitated the rescue of a recreational boater who had fallen overboard and was seriously injured.
