DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A 375,000 BBL PRESTRESSED CONCRETE FLOATING LPG STORAGE FACILITY FOR THE JAVA SEA

Describes the gas and crude oil facilities on platforms located in water depths from 95 to 135 feet. The site is located in an earthquake belt, and the area is also subjected to gales up to 75 mph which result in sea waves up to 27 feet in height. The oil and gas production platforms rest on the sea bottom. An extensive network of oil and gas pipelines resting on the sea floor transmit the oil and gas to a junction platform where the crude oil is collected in steel storage barges and the liquid petroleum gas is collected, refrigerated and stored aboard a prestressed concrete barge. The prestressed concrete barge is considered one of the most unique features of the project. The vessel's measurements -- 461 ft. long, 135 ft. wide, and 56 ft. deep -- permit a total storage of 375,000 barrels, or approximately 30,000 metric tons of liquid petroleum gas (LPG).
