€ 33,000
The project:
Feasibilty study of three alternative sites for an LNG export
terminal. The proposed sites are:
- Damietta, in the Nile Delta area
- east of Damietta, near Al-Harish
- west of Damietta, near El-Hamra.
The comparative study involved the preliminary analysis of the
environmental aspects and exposure to wave action, the
distance between the terminal loading platform and on-shore
plant area, the length of the water intake pipes, and
construction and operating costs. The possibility of future
extension of each site was also considered.
Following the meteo-marine studies (wind, waves and tidal
characteristics) a preliminary design of the terminal was
drawn up, including, besides the marine works, all the related
plant systems (loading arms and piping system,
telecommunications, control, electrical, fire-fighting, etc.)
The cost estimates, considering marine works (jetties, berths,
breakwaters), topside works, water intake works and
dredging/reclamation works, were drawn up for 3 different
scenarios and two construction phases
