CRUDE OIL TERMINAL (COT) AND ASSOCISTED FACILITIES
COT - EPCC-11

The scope comprises Greenfield Detail engineering for Piping, Stress Analysis and Structural engineering of a large-scale crude oil storage and handling terminal with twelve EFR crude oil storage tanks with integrated booster, transfer and pigging pumping system, electrical, instrument and utility infrastructure.

The project scope comprises detailed engineering for a large-scale crude oil storage and handling terminal incorporating twelve External Floating Roof (EFR) crude storage tanks, each having a diameter of 66 m and a height of 20 m. The terminal infrastructure includes manifold systems, pipeline receipt facilities, pigging systems, booster pumps, transfer pumps, and interconnected utility networks developed to support continuous and efficient crude oil transfer operations.

The engineering scope includes detailed piping engineering, intelligent 3D plant modelling, comprehensive piping layouts, isometric extraction, and advanced stress analysis covering both static and dynamic operating conditions. Engineering evaluations are performed to address thermal expansion behaviour, sustained loading conditions, vibration effects, piping flexibility, equipment nozzle load protection, and long-term mechanical integrity of critical piping systems.

The project also incorporates Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) facilities, integrated drainage systems, plant and non-plant buildings, and complete Electrical & Instrumentation infrastructure required for safe and environmentally compliant terminal operations. Electrical and instrumentation engineering activities include power distribution systems, cable routing coordination, control system integration, field instrumentation interfacing, and operational monitoring infrastructure across the facility.

Engineering activities further include platform design, pipe support engineering and multidisciplinary interface management to ensure constructability, accessibility, maintainability, and efficient execution during fabrication and construction stages. Intelligent 3D model development is utilized extensively for spatial coordination, clash elimination, routing optimization, and integration of piping, civil, structural, mechanical, and utility systems.

The overall engineering execution is developed to achieve safe hydrocarbon handling, operational reliability, environmental compliance, structural stability, and adherence to applicable engineering codes and project standards throughout procurement, construction, commissioning, and long-term terminal operation
