INTECSEA’s major areas of expertise include marine pipeline and riser systems, marine terminal systems, subsea and floating production systems.
Additional areas of expertise include flow assurance and operability, marine surveys, Arctic pipelines and offshore construction equipment design.
This page describes INTECSEA’s capabilities and experience specific to marine terminals.
Engineering design and construction management of marine terminals started as a logical extension of INTECSEA's marine pipeline activities when it was determined that, in addition to the pipeline component, there was a need for specific engineering requirements related to marine terminal site selection, terminal system design, system performance specifications and component sizing of tanker mooring facilities often associated with marine terminals. This led to a significant number of terminal projects in which INTECSEA performed site surveys, system designs, prepared Invitation to Bid documents, inspected component fabrication, supervised terminal installations and provided total project management services.
Initially these projects were primarily Single Point Mooring (SPM) terminals. However, INTECSEA has extended its expertise to Conventional Buoy Mooring (CBM) terminals, fixed tanker berths and associated onshore facilities. This has created a capability for unbiased evaluation of alternate marine terminal options, and subsequent implementation of total project services from concept through commissioning for the selected marine terminal type.
Projects have included import and export facilities in all regions of the world including arctic and other hostile environments. In summary, INTECSEA has extensive marine terminal project experience extending from concept through commissioning for SPM and CBM terminals.
