Mammoet builds jetty for Saudi terminal
With transport for a project for Saudi Aramco in the remote south west of Saudi Arabia facing numerous obstacles for moves between an existing port and the job site, Mammoet built a new jetty, allowing for direct site access.Aramco's Jizan refinery is due to start production in 2017, and will process 400,000 barrels of crude per day. The closest port to the site is 100km away, and the 100 large and heavy transports required would involve passing a range of obstacles, including overhead powerlines and bridges.Mammoet worked with the client to develop an alternative route. In order to simplify the logistics of getting these oversized components to site, a tailor made jetty next to the project site was constructed. Mammoet helped the client to design the jetty, using engineering drawings of the transport to ensure that the jetty has the right dimensions and structure to cope with the size and weight of the components. Mammoet provided technical information for the road design between the jetty and the project site to accommodate the heavy items. Mammoet's early involvement in the planning and design of the logistics for these components will minimize the risks along the route, reducing the chance of delays. The first components were delivered to site using the new jetty in October 2015, with more arriving regularly since then, including two components weighing over 1,000t. source : cranes
