Jetty substructure construction - 2009

To unload LNG carriers, jetties, dolphins and mooring piers are needed. The jetty’s substructure will consist of a concrete platform on tubular steel piles, on which the pipelines and unloading arms will later be fitted. An access bridge and catwalks to the mooring piers will complete the substructure. The jetties are expected to be the only facilities to require foundation piles. In the current plans, the first jetty will be built on land. The channel will then be dredged to provide the LNG carriers access to the jetties.
