Project Description

DBC was awarded the civil/structural contract for construction of this new operating unit.  The work included forming and pouring 650 cubic yards of concrete, 97 auger cast pilings to depth of 50 feet, erection of 170 tons of structural steel, fire proofing, vessel erection, piping and insulation.  The vessel erection required a 450 ton crane with tailing crane and a detailed critical lift plan.

Project Challenges & Solutions

The major vessels were delivered late requiring DBC to deviate from the orignial plan and revise the sequence of activities to facilitate Shell schedule.
