SGH collaborated with terminal staff, local marine contractors, and the port to identify operational goals, develop project design criteria, and review terminal structure design concepts by others. Working with the oil terminal operator, we then helped develop topside layouts and new concept designs for replacing the terminal structure. Highlights of our work include the following:

• Developed basis of design for replacing the marine terminal

• Evaluated MOTEMS compliance for the proposed concepts and continued to evaluate compliance of the final concept throughout the design process

• Designed a new loading platform, approach trestle, and mooring and berthing dolphins

• Vetted various vessel mooring arrangements

• Conducted marine terminal operational reviews

• Helped develop the design for cargo hose storage

• Explored various topside layout and pipeline alignment schemes

• Supported the environmental review process

We also evaluated value-engineering proposals, collaborated with the project team to evaluate construction methods and approaches, and recommended ways to minimize terminal downtime during the work.
