Completion of a new jetty facility project in Kyauk Phyu, Myanmar.
August 2011, HSL has successfully completed a jetty facility project in Kyauk Phyu, Myanmar. This is the first project HSL successfully ventured into the regional market.
The consortium leader and operator, Daewoo International Corporation (Myanmar E&P) is developing SHWE Field Development Project in Western Part of Myanmar. This project consists of installation of an offshore platform, submarine pipelines, an onshore gas terminal, and supply base jetty facility.
After demolishing the existing RC jetty, the new supply base jetty consisting of a jetty platform and an approach trestle was constructed in 24 weeks. After careful study of site conditions the staging piling method was selected for installation of steel pipe piles. 14 pieces of the pre-fabricated steel structure panels were placed on top of the pile caps to support the RC deck slab.
The major challenges were strong current, the surprise sea swells, and t he unpredictable inclement weather among many others. The planning took the top priority due to coordination among various parties, the tight project schedule, and the paucity of resources in the local market.
