Recent Upgrading Makes West Pier

More Permanent and Safer Facility


A recent investment of ap-
proximately FIs. 500,000 (second
phase) converted the West Pier
into a more permanent and sa-
fer facility for loading several
grades of products into tankers
of up to 27,000 dwt. tons
The first phase, which includ-
ed the reconstruction of part of
the West Pier's woo,: struc-
ture into a new steel and con-
crete pier with new hose handl-
ing structure, was completed in
February, 1970.
The second phase was com-
pleted in December last year
and included replacement of
the remaining wooden structu-
res from shore up to the con-
crete cell platform by steel and
concrete structures. The project
included:

(a) A new walkway, approxim-
ately 400 ft. long and 6 ft.
wide, from shore to the
existing concrete cell plat-
form. The walkway is built
of precast concrete slabs in-
stalled on steel piles and a
steel structure which ex-
tends to support the pipe
bank.

(b) Replacement of some 90 ft.
of wooden catwalk from the
walkway to the forward
breasting dolphin by an all
steel structure, resting on
steel piles. Some of the


piles were driven up to 36
ft. into the ground.

(c) A new all-steel mooring dol-
phin of 16-inch piles at the
joint of the catwalk with the
walkway.

(d) New electrical installation,
including new light posts
with incandescent white
lamps to provide better il-
lumination,

(e) A 10-ft. walkway to the Salt
Water Intake for the Acid &
Edeleanu Plants.

(f) A new gauger shack which
contains a control panel
and includes utility facilities.

The project has been handled
by Mechanical Engineering Div-
ision, with Allan Temple as pro-
ject manager, while Simon Q.
Oduber was the field engineer
charged with supervision of the
execution of the project.

The design and installation
work of the new facilities, which
were completed within the sti-
pulated time schedule, was
done by the local contractor's
firm of Arston Corporation,
which also carried out the dis-
mantling work of the wooden
structure, including the removal
of all underwater wooden piles.


The upgrading of the West Pier (second phase) also included the
construction of a new concrete block Gauger Office with utility and
store rooms.
E mehoraclonnan na West Pier tambe a Inclul e construcclon dl un
oficina nobo pa Gauger traha dl blokkl dl cement, cu cuarto lava-

Roofs Added to Fuel Oil Tanks

At a Cost of Two Million Florins


Seven open top tanks which
had been constructed just east
of San Nicolas to provide sea-
sonal storage for fuel oil were
recently provided with cone
roofs.
After the first of these tanks
(with capacities from 400 to 600
thousand barrels each) was ini-
tially filled with oil, traces of oil
spray were noted downwind of
the tank. To determine the cause
of the escape of oil droplets,
the services of Virginia Polytech-
nic Institute was engaged. They
found that wind passing over
the edge of the tank increased
in velocity creating an uplift like
the wing of an airplane. This
caused a reverse circulation
across the large oil surface, thus
forming waves which released
oil droplets. Virginia Polytechnic
Institute suggested several pos-
sible experimental solutions.
However, these possible solu-
tions would have required an
experimental installation and
would have delayed the final
solution of the problem. There-
fore, a project was developed
to install roofs on these open
a alm


top tanks. Although the roofs
were more expensive than the
experimental installation, they
represent a positive and perma-
nent solution to the entrainment
problem. The roofs will also help
reduce evaporation loss and eli-
minate the need for rain de-
watering.
The roofs for all seven tanks
required some 1400 tons of steel
for beams, girders, rafters, and
plates. The steel plates which
form the roofs could cover
more than five football fields.
Materials for the project came
from many different places, such
as Japan, Sweden and the Uni-
ted States.
The project, which cost about
two million florins, was carried
out by the Chicago Bridge and
Iron Company with assistance
from Arston Corporation, Nahar
and Wescar. The study of alter-
native solutions to the problem
was handled by Ken Brook of
Mechanical Engineering. The
Project Engineer for installation
of the facilities was Eddy Tjin
Kon Fat, an Engineering Tech-
nician in Mech. Engineering.


This spider-web-like architecture Is the framework that supports the
tank roofs, some of which have an area as large as a football field.

Lago Police Introduces New Safety

Barricades for Closing off Roads


A new type of portable road
barricade containing several
safety and economic features
has been acquired by the Lago
Police.
A barricade assembly con-
sists of two 3 ft. high cones
between which a barricade
plate is installed. The complete
assembly is made of rugged
Cycolac thermoplastic. To pre-
vent toppling, the 15-inch
square cone base can be bal-
lasted with water or sand.
The plastic material presents
no safety hazards and the bar-
ricade can be easily assembled
and disassembled. At night, the
barricade plate will be visible
from a distance because of the
reflectorized striping.
When using several cones,
the barricade can be extended


to a hundred yards. It can be
used not only for barricading
roads, but to close off walk-
ways or work areas as well.
The new barricade requires
no maintenance as it does not
need painting and won't peel or
chip. Its breakaway feature and
light weight make it easy to
transport and store.
Since the Lago Police at pre-
sent has these new barricades
of only three feet in length, all
drivers in the refinery or Seroe
Colorado area should bear in
mind that wherever they see
this new barricade it means the
road is definitely closed. Drivers
should not attempt to pass on
either side, even though there
is room. At night, red traffic
lights will be installed at the
barricade.
