Coastal Petroleum operates the Santo Domingo CBM Facility in Dominican Republic. The facility was originally constructed in 1998, is able to accommodate a maximum vessel size of 30 000 DWT. The facility imports LPG through an 8 inch pipeline and Jet Fuel and Diesel through a 12inch pipeline. The system suffered from a severe lack of maintenance and one of the anchor legs was lost in a storm. PMI was appointed to re-instate the system to its original design condition.

Scope of Works
The following steps were carried out by PMI in the development of the terminal:

• PMI carried out the following activities for this project;
• Inspection works;

PMI conducted a thorough inspection of the complete facility in its then current state, to ascertain the existing status so that appropriate remedial and upgrade measures could be identified.
This included full inspections of the following components:

• Each of the remaining 5 anchor legs;
• The 5 remaining insitu mooring buoys;
• The Pipe Line End Manifold
• The subsea marine hoses

The results of the inspection were used in determining the design required for re-instatement
