EHS Management for Terminal Demolition and Site Restoration for a Global Oil and Gas Client

Challenge:     

A global oil and gas company required final decommissioning at a former terminal and blending facility that had been idle for almost a decade. The 3-acre site, located in Durban, South Africa, required the removal of all above and below ground structures, underground utilities, process equipment, buildings, concrete slabs and foundations. 

The objective of the project was to demolish the structures to safety requirements agreed upon by the province, port authority and client, so that the client could completely exit the site. 

Several factors contributed to the complexity of the project including site location immediately adjacent to neighbors with high pressure LNG lines, round the clock high truck traffic, incomplete site records and historical information, asbestos containing materials and petroleum waste, permitted activity, workforce from multiple countries speaking different native languages, and continuous coordination with the port authority.
