Construction Logistics/Offshore Production Support Facilities
“Greenfield” petrochemical facilities are often
developed in remote areas, inaccessible by
roads and far from large metropolitan areas.
Therefore, most equipment and materials for
these projects have to be brought in using
marine transport. Large prefabricated process
modules are often the preferred method of
construction for plant facilities in remote areas.
These port facilities require structures that
are designed for very heavy loads and can
accommodate specialized heavy-lift vessels and
multi-wheeled transporters. These port facilities
are also sometimes used to support offshore Oil
& Gas exploration and production operations.
Moffatt & Nichol understands the unique
requirements of these specialized port facilities
and provides planning and design services that
typically include:
• Site Evaluation and Selection
• Construction Harbor Master Planning
• Drilling Support Facilities Master Planning
