    The project involved building a 67,000 cubic meter bulk storage plant for diesel, petrol, and biofuels at the Beira Petroleum Terminal in Mozambique. The ground conditions were very challenging with soft peaty clays extending to depths of 21-26 meters below ground level. The solution was to install 414 auger cast piles to depths of 17-26 meters to support the six storage tanks and light structures. The piles were designed based on two static pile load tests conducted on site according to Eurocode 7 standards.

    IGBTL Beira Oil Storage Terminal

    Beira Port, Mozambique

    Storage tanks at the Beira Petroleum Terminal in Mozambique, founded on CFA piles.

    The project
    A Joint Venture was created between Galp Energia (a Portuguese Company), IPG - Independent Petroleum
    Group (a Kuwaiti Company) and SPI - Sociedade Gestão e Investimentos (a Mozambican Company) to
    build a bulk storage plant with a capacity of 67000m³ of diesel, petrol and biofuel at the Beira Petroleum
    Terminal in Mozambique.

    The terminal occupies a total area of 4.7 ha.


    The challenge
    Ground conditions in the project area were very challenging, with very soft peaty clays extending to
    depths of between 21 and 26m bgl. We used our extensive experience in the area to overcome these
    difficulties.

    The approval process of the foundations design was lengthy causing some delays that were successfully
    recovered.

    The solution
    The proposed development included six petroleum and water storage tanks of 20-32.5m diameter and
    various light supporting structures. Our proposal was to have the storage tanks founded on 650mm CFA
    piles installed to depths of 26m and to have the light structures founded on similar piles installed to
    depths of 17m. Pile design was carried out from two static pile load tests conducted on site with
    reference to Eurocode 7: Geotechnical Design.

    The total number of piles installed was 414 CFA piles.
