Client Challenge:
The client required a crude storage and custody transfer system with associated infrastructure, capable of storing and loading crude oil from two adjacent pipelines. This infrastructure would need to be capable of metering product for export upon customer demand.
Design challenges included setting high-load foundations in poor soil conditions, a short schedule due to delivery windows, and the client’s need for an early ROI.
Anvil Solution:
Anvil engineers utilized Conical and “Big Foot” Piles to reduce the amount of concrete and stabilize the foundations for the soil conditions.
To address schedule constraints, the project team overlapped multiple engineering activities and executed design tasks simultaneously; our civil and structural engineers worked concurrently with our piping and electrical teams to meet key critical path milestones.
Results:
Anvil completed the design of the piping, metering system, filters, provers, valves, and the new MCC building in record time, successfully meeting the ROI goals of our client by overlapping engineering activities in multiple areas of their plant.
The project was executed on budget and on schedule.
