Mahshahr Export Port Project

The plan of Mahshahr Export Port was handed over to Machine Sazi Arak, Khatam-ol-Anbia and Rampco companies via National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company as the owner of project in three parts of land, offshore and pipelines in the form of three EPC projects.

The project site of the Mahshahr Export Port is located at a distance of 11 kilometers from Imam Khomeini port and has 6 berths for loading oil products. Products distributed from this port include gasoline, gasoline, petrol, oil, aromatics and naphtha. The engineering phase of this project involves basic, detailed and executive engineering in all engineering disciplines such as civil, mechanics, piping, electricity and telecommunications, instruments and safety. Due to the necessity of port service, the important point in designing this project is design of the project in such a way that, while optimizing the systems, the existing systems of port was fully used. In this project, the basic engineering documents and engineering technical documents for procurement and construction with number of 2700 documents were produced and were approved by the employer. Also about 700 companies were used by domestic and foreign manufacturers to supply the equipment.

In this project, 32 hectares of Majidieh logs were digested and dried then recovered  by soil and water so consolidated up to 95%. Equipment for the export of fuel oil and gasoline and bunkering of fuel oil in this section was designed, supplied and installed.

The outline of the EPC works done in this project is as follows:

Engineering and implementation of protection dikes:

Engineering and implementation of protection dikes to cut off seawater with an area of 1200 m and an altitude of 3+ m above the surface of the area

Gasoline storage tanks:

Construction and installation of five 100,000 barrels floating roof tanks for storage of gasoline

Land extraction from the sea of 32 hectares and pre-loading with soil and water

The extraction operations in this project were carried out using drainage and loading procedures. In order to implement vertical drainage, the special towers were used which two of these towers were first made in Machine Sazi Arak in Iran. In addition, to load the soil to consolidate the land, more than 1.5 million square meters of soil was used, with loading height in some places reach to 12 meters, and to accelerate the time and lack of sufficient soil, part of the area 4 units of fixed roof tank were loaded with water of 250 barrels. Previous experience has shown that preloading with soil has more costs in addition to time. It seems that pre-loading method with water be an appropriate alternative to the soil. In this method, after the construction of the tanks, they were continuously and daily stored for 45 days and after a month of storage of water in the tanks, evacuation was carried out.

Gasoline and fuel oil storage tanks:

Construction and installation of twelve 250,000 barrels fixed storage tanks for storage of fuel and gasoline

Transferring water:

Construction of the 8-inch water pipeline with length of 11 km

Piping

The collection of old pipelines and the implementation of new pipelines in the export port with a volume of more than 400,000 dia/inch and at the same time maintenance of port servicing.

Power line:

Construction of KV 132 transmission line to Mahshahr Export Port and construction of KV33 / 132 power station

Substation:

Development of 132/400 kV power supply

Fire extinguishing system:

Design and implementation of a fire extinguishing system including the procurement of tank fire fighting and piping operations

Terminal control system:

Design and manufacture of the largest control system of oil terminals in Iran (DCS & ESD), which is the largest control system designed for oil terminals in Iran, to fully control and automate all oil exports and imports

Electrical Equipment:

Installation of electrical equipment and construction of substations for power transmission and distribution

Electrical Equipment:

Installation of electrical equipment and construction of substations for power transmission and distribution

Electrical Equipment:

Construction of 11,000 square meters of building including industrial buildings (control room, substandard)  and non-industrial and service buildings (restaurant, guest house, fire department) construction of 13 kilometers of highways and roads within the boundary of the export port, execution foundation and Band walls and landscaping and surface water collection System

Engineering, Procurement and Construction of Karun 4 Cable Stayed Bridges for Oil Pipeline

This project includes engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a large cable stayed bridge with a length of about 380 meters on the Karun 4 dam for passage of oil and gas pipelines which was carried out by Machine Sazi Arak Co. within 18 months

Owner: Iran Water and Power Resources Development Company

Project Overview:

Bridge type: Cable Stayed

Deck Type: Orthotropic

Total length of the bridge: 380 m
