This project involves the civil and structural design of a Chemical Transfer Facility
for ChampionX in Plantation Rome, East Bank Demerara, Guyana. This project is a typical,
wide-ranging project that encompasses everything we have learned throughout the civil
engineering curriculum.
The design of this project will accommodate up to 2,000 metric tonnes of chemical
products on site. Key design components of this project include the site layout, grading
plan, reinforced concrete storage yard, aggregate laydown yard, secondary containment
system, and transfer shed foundation and steel structure.
Using owner-provided geotechnical data, design rainfall intensities, and various design
books (such as AASHTO 1993 pavement design guide and ASCE 7-16), the structural and
pavement portions of the project were designed to meet strength and serviceability
requirements. In this project, we also provided a key secondary containment system,
able to encapsulate the chemicals, in case a spill were to happen.
This completed design provides a code-compliant, cost-effective, and constructable
facility that supports what ChampionX requested.
