IOR Stage 1, Fuel Storage Capacity Increase, Port of Brisbane

The Lytton Terminal is a 110ML Diesel Import and Storage Facility located at the Port of Brisbane and provides up to an additional 12 days of supply storage into the Brisbane market. Constructed in 2023, it is the largest of its kind in Queensland and one of the largest diesel-only terminals on Australia’s east coast. In addition to constructing on-site storage, IOR also drilled a 2KM underground pipeline and built a new wharf deck and marine loading arms at the Port of Brisbane’s deep-water FIB2 berth.

Designed to maximise efficiencies, the terminal loading gantry is capable of filling two trailers simultaneously at a rate of 2400 litres per minute at each loading arm. The gantry has been designed for AB triple access with room for a third loading skid at each lane.

Scope:

Onsite manufacture and installation of over 2km of DN600 stainless steel piping, alongside pumping stations, truck load-out gantries, and a new port terminal for bulk fuel ship unloading.

Challenges:

Successfully managed intricate tasks in challenging environments, including working over water under strict environmental regulations. Successfully completed hot works inside operational and hazardous fuel terminals, managing the risks of ignition and fire. Successfully completed the project working within strict shipping and transfer schedules.

Conformance:

Delivered the project in full compliance with Australian and international standards, as well as specific client requirements.

Key Metrics:

• Duration: 14 months spread over 2021 - 2025

• Fabrication, installation and testing

  • IOR new berth installation

  • Welding, pipe supports, installed pumps and valves

  • Filters installation and flow meters installed

  • Gantry pipes, truck load skids, service lines (air and water)
