Karimun Petroleum

Storage Terminal

Background of the project:

Petroleum demand in the South East Asia region has

been growing steadily. Oiltanking, one of the worlds
leading independent oil storage companies has chosen
the island of Karimun in Indonesia to construct a tank
storage terminal. This will cater to the increasing sto-
rage needs particularly of the Singapore trading area.

Description of Work:

To reduce the settlement of the tank storage during

its service life, Keller improved the soil in the area u-
sing the Vibro replacement method. This method uses
Stone columns to reinforce the existing soil.

column having diameter of 1 m was constructed to a
depth of 25 m.
A total of 30 tank foundations that ranged from 20 m
to 61.8 m in diameters were built. There were no
lost-time injuries during the entire work.
