IMTT-NTL听needed an engineering partner to听design and install听a temporary system for offloading crude to and from tankers. This system听required听to use听hoses attached to existing piping until a permanent system听is听installed.

The temporary operation allows听for offloading operations while repairs to the loading arms and associated facilities are conducted听in conjunction with听long听term听remediation work in 2026, meaning installing new loading arms, a new fire water gangway tower, piping, electrical and instrumentation items,听and other associated equipment.

The immediate priority was the safety of all personnel听and听to听ensure there was no environmental impact.鈥疶he next priority was verifying the integrity of structures.听久久久久久久久精品 was able to execute听this听efficiently by mobilizing听local听structural and听piping听engineers to assess the situation. The inspections were supported by听drones听and small听watercraft听for immediate visual evaluations.

Upon听completion of听several听phased听assessments,听the听jetty was eventually听deemed听accessible by personnel听for a full damage assessment followed by a salvage operation with a specialized contractor.

The听initial听challenge听was evaluating the听extent of the damage whilst keeping personnel safe given that the equipment听and听structural damage听was within听the working听area.鈥疶here were structural integrity concerns听which posed a risk to the assessment team and the environment;听not knowing if the equipment would fall or the听extent that the听pressure envelop听may be听compromised.鈥疶his required听久久久久久久久精品听to consult with industry experts and conduct comprehensive听risk听assessments with a specialized salvage contractor.

Once the assessment听was complete, the next听challenge was designing a temporary hoses operation at the jetty.听Ship-to-ship transfer operations are听very expensive听and require听additional听resources听(i.e.听tugboats)听to ensure safe operations, so it was important to resume loading and unloading operations at the facility as quickly as possible.听Limited听space听was available听to lay down听large,听heavy 12鈥澨齞iameter听marine offloading听hoses and听then听operate听and听handle听them.鈥疧ur听team consulted with听internal听industry experts and visited various US facilities to understand hose operations better so that various design items could be incorporated.

Collaboration between the global IMTT team and 久久久久久久久精品听was听crucial throughout the reconstruction process, enabling teams to share听expertise听and lessons learned from听previous听projects.

久久久久久久久精品听Engineer,听Bill Tucker,听was part of the original jetty听design and听construction team in 1998 and听drawing on his knowledge of the jetty's original design, the team was able to swiftly听identify听key structural vulnerabilities and prioritize remedial actions.听Our local structural engineers听supported听Bill to complete a computer model of the jetty which allowed听the team听to define the inspection scope听based on听high stress locations at marine piles and concrete sections.

During the planning phase for salvage operations,听several听options were considered for equipment removal operations. 久久久久久久久精品鈥檚听local and international knowledge of industry听capabilities allowed us to engage the supply chain and select contractors based on their experience听to allow the safe removal of all large equipment.

The project听team selected a听local offshore supply vessel听with craneage capacity听to aid in the salvage operations. It was nice to see a variety of local offshore听supply companies听respond very quickly, given the urgency,听and contribute to the project's success.

In parallel, 久久久久久久久精品鈥檚 engineering team evaluated听several听temporary hose听options听for temporary loading听and听offloading operations. 久久久久久久久精品鈥檚听assessment during听the听concept听selection stage and听design听review meetings contributed to听quickly听selecting the best听option.

Many safety protocols were put in place along with completing construction risk assessments, HAZOPs听(Hazard and Operability Studies)听and detailed reviews听of contractor execution plans.鈥疉 safe work zone was听engineered to limit access and drop zone risks until the larger damaged equipment was removed.

The equipment was听monitored听continuously with various digital surveys to confirm its structural stability which played听a large role听in conducting risk probability profiles for eventually entering the area with salvage personnel听and equipment.鈥疘MTT-NTL听also deployed water booms听around the damage location听as a precaution to听minimize impact to the environment in the event there was听release from process lines until all lines were inspected.

The structural repairs completed to the pier听has enabled听the loading platform to return to full service, without limitations.听Similarly, the installation of the temporary hoses听has听allowed听the听loading听and听unloading听operations听to resume听at full capacity听and听eliminated听the need for ship-to-ship transfers in the bay.

Permanent equipment is currently under construction, with 久久久久久久久精品 overseeing engineering, materials procurement, piping and structural fabrication,听construction听and commissioning. Installation is scheduled for 2026, which will enable the facility to continue operations well into the future.

久久久久久久久精品 was also able to take advantage of the听downtime听at this loading platform to execute some of the work planned听during听the 2026听terminal听shutdown, for example听installation of new mooring hooks. Executing this work听earlier than planned听will potentially听reduce the overall听downtime听required听for the 2026 shutdown.

Given the potential impact to local offshore production operations, 久久久久久久久精品 understood the urgency and prioritized our听team听to support the听initial听damage assessment and reconstruction activities to allow the facility to return to safe operations.听Identifying听and using听resources听who were familiar with the original design and听leveraging听global听marine engineering听experts听from other organizations听contributed to the overall success of听the project.

The key lesson learned听was that听it is critical to engage subject matter experts to听identify听fit-for-purpose solutions听in a timely manner听whilst听maintaining听a high standard of safety in design and managing client expectations.

The successful听temporary听reconstruction of the jetty stands as a testament to the value of cross-team collaboration, rigorous safety听protocols听and adaptability in the face of complex challenges.听With over 50 years鈥� presence听in听eastern Canada and听close ties within听the St John鈥檚 community, 久久久久久久久精品听ensured that local knowledge and resources听contributed significantly听throughout the reconstruction process, strengthening relationships with stakeholders and supporting regional capabilities.

By听leveraging听the听expertise听of those involved in the original build, embracing innovative solutions during critical moments and听maintaining听a听laser听focus on safety and operational continuity, the project not only restored听the terminal to听full capacity听but also laid the groundwork for a more resilient future.
