Project Location: Industrial Port of Dos Bocas, State of Tabasco, Mexico
Client: PEMEX - Inopesa, Mexico City, Mexico
Dates: September-1998 to March-1999

Partners of LCR&A were contracted for the complete design and preparation of construction drawings for a complex project of an oil mooring facility at the existing Pemex facilities at the Dos Bocas Port terminal Complex in the Mexican state of Tabasco. The existing Dos Bocas Terminal Complex from Pemex handles near 45% of the petroleum traffic of the country mostly using a system of single buoys. The new design was intended to increase the efficiency of the oil-handling operations since it will located within the port basin and protected by enlarged breakwaters.

The structural form of the breasting and mooring dolphins as well as that of the operations platform were fixed platforms with steel tubular members, similar to those commonly used in fixed offshore platforms. The project was delivered on time and budget along with approximately 80 sheets of plans and technical specifications.
