Case Studies
Shuaiba Oil Pier M & E
The project comprised the rehabilitation of Shuaiba Oil Pier which had been extensively damaged during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Shuaiba Oil Pier is a T-shaped pier with two inner and two outer berths suitable for very large crude carriers (VLCCs). The berths are 1km offshore.
One arm of the pier was still in use and the rehabilitation work in this area had to be carried out during possessions and with strict control of hot work using a standard permit system. The other arm of the pier was reconstructed with fewer restrictions on working.
Cadogans was responsible for the survey, design, supervision of construction and commissioning of all topside plant and equipment.
