This design will be performed by our design department and affiliated companies. The tanks design with relative foundations will be performed by our design Department and verified by third party. The structural steel design will be carried by our design department that has carried designs of complex structures for industrial as well as architectural purposes. 3.1 Basic design and calculations should be carried, according to the required industry standards (API 650, 2000, AISC, AISI), for the selection of material, with relative sizes and attached accessories, The design and construction of the Tanks is one of the critical activities of this project and is required to be carried from the very early stages due to the long construction time required for these tanks. This design will include the verification of the relative foundations. 3.2 Basic design and calculations for the Fire protection system would be carried out, according to the required industry standards (AWWA D100, NFPA22, NFPA25 and NFPA10). All materials for the fire fighting system shall be UL listed or FM approved. This activity will be executed in parallel the process piping. 3.3 Basic Design and structural calculations for the sheds of the Product Pump House, Utility Shed, Loading/ Unloading Area, Hot Oil and Stem Unites and Platforms. The design of these sheds will allow for the allocation of relative material and provide the transmitted loading to the relative foundations, which allows verification and the sizing of foundations as well as design of Anchoring for the foundation. The erection time of these sheds is not as critical as for the tanks erection, but due to the number of sheds, it is important to start this activity in parallel with the tanks basic design. 3.4 All the mechanical equipment, specifically the positive Displacement pumps for Base oil, Finished Product Base oil, Additive Loading and Fuel Feed Pumps (P-301, P-302, P-303, P-304, P-305, P-311A and P-311B), Hot Oil Unit, Steam unit and Fire fighting monitors, needs foundations to bear the static and dynamic loads transmitted to it. Accordingly, the relative design of these foundations is either provided by the supplier or loading data provided by the supplier in order to allow for proper design. This can be received, from the suppliers, only after getting approval on the equipment itself and placing the order for the relative equipment with a lag time going up to one month from the order date. Data for the Drum filling should be provided by the Client. All other facilities are considered as ready for detailing.

PROJECT: LUBE OIL BLENDING PLANT

Upon completion of the detailed design of the Electric, Control, Sampling construction of this item can take place taken into consideration Looking the critical issue of tanks construction, the foundations of the tanks will start immediately after completion and approval of the relative detailed drawings. Removal of the top soil layers, Excavation at the ring beam area and then compaction will take place using diggers and compaction rollers of appropriate size to allow for efficient performance of works. The soil being prepared, the ring beam will be cast in two parts, the annular part and then the cylindrical part. Embedment of the anchor bolts, at the right positions, will be given high importance. The bund wall around the storage tanks will be left until completion of the tanks construction and can go in parallel with the testing and insulation activities. In parallel with the tanks foundations, the footings and slabs at the sheds for the Pump Houses and Equipment will be carried, taking into consideration the embedded anchors necessary for these sheds and keeping necessary area for the equipment foundations that needs to be finalized upon completion of the relative design. The steel structures sheds will be erected and roofing installed with necessary flushing and down spouts will be installed as soon as the steel fabrication is complete and the concrete is cure and ready to receive these structures. The shed of the Hot Oil Unit and the steam unit may be delayed until completion of this unit installation, due to the dimensions of this unit. Pipe supports, trenches, drainage system as well as excavations for under ground piping will take place as soon as the above activities are complete and allowing for the piping works to be carried out. Roads and paving as well as fencing and gates will be carried as the last item of the civil works in order to save this part from potential construction damages.

Mechanical Works The mechanical part includes the most critical items as long lead delivery and also includes activities that need long time for construction. Accordingly, is based our plan for the Mechanical works as following: - Tanks erection at site will start upon approval on the detailed design drawings, receiving the prefabricated material at site and the foundations are ready. The tanks will be started with lay down and welding the bottom and annular plates and then erection of the shell courses one by one starting from the lower course to the upper course. Automatic welding machines will be used for most of the welding in order to minimize the erection time. The roof structures will be prepared for erection in parallel with the shells and once a shell is complete the relative structure can be erected in position to receive the roof plates. Nozzles and accessories as well as supports for insulation

and supports for the heating coil will be installed in parallel with the roof plates. At this stage the tank will be hydro tested. The suction heater inside tanks will be prepared in parallel with the testing in order to place it inside after draining the tanks. Touch up of painting and installation of insulation and cladding will be installed to complete the tanks. The piping works for the various products, Hot Oil and Solvents will start upon approval of the relative detailed design and arrival of pipes and fittings and pipe sleepers are ready to receive the pipes. For this purpose the Tees need to be ordered in two pieces and perform the longitudinal welding at site. Spacers will be welded on the internal pipes to allow for homogeneous opening for the hot oil circulation. Any change in direction will require attention for the sequence of work between internal and external piping, (internal straight line - external straight line - internal direction change - external direction change) in order to allow for proper fit up, welding and NDT. Also attention should be paid for the sizes of flanges at the jacketed valves. Upon arrival of equipment and in order to complete the piping systems, equipment will be installed, according to the installation instructions or under supervision of the manufacturer, where appropriate, considering that the foundations are ready to receive the equipment. Installation of the Hot Oil unit, according to the instructions of the manufacturer, and under his supervision, will be given importance due to the volume and diversity of works, installation of the diesel supply system, the exhaust ducts and connection of the Hot Oil Piping. The Fire fighting system and Instrument Air system will be installed in parallel with the other piping systems.

Electric Works - As soon as the Electric, Control Sampling and Laboratory building is ready as civil and architectural works and the steel sheds erected, installation of the electric lighting and small power distribution with the related cabling and lighting panels inside these areas can be started taking into consideration the cabling layout, related to the equipment power and control cabling, inside these areas. - The Main Distribution panels can be installed as soon as the Electric room construction is ready and the panels are available at site. - Cable trays for interconnection between the electric room and the different areas can be started upon completion of the piping works and once the trenches are ready, if needed. - Once the equipment are in place and the Distribution and Control panels are installed, with the trays ready the cabling can be laid down and terminated at both ends. Attention should be given for the solvent tanks and pump house area where explosion proof accessories should be considered.
