Disinvestment and Tank Cleaning Works

Tender description

These works relate to the works associated with the disinvestment of the existing infrastructure of the existing ESB Poolbeg tank farm complex which will be utilised for the strategic storage of distillate fuels by NORA. The site is located to the east of the ESB Poolbeg Power Generation Plant, Dublin and will be managed by the National Oil Reserves Agency (NORA) www.nora.ie which is the Irish state agency, established in 1995 with responsibility for the maintenance of Ireland’s national oil reserve. At present the tankfarm is only partially in use to provide an emergency supply of Diesel fuel for the adjacent ESB Power station which is supplied from 2 No. Tanks (D1 and D2). The contents of these tanks will be required to be exported to a ship (ESB Supply). The remaining tankage (Tanks C1,-C5) were originally in use for fuel oil storage and are now no longer in service. Residual fuel recovered from these tanks and pipe work is to be exported to a site within the ROI. The site is ship fed from a dedicated marine Jetty located to the North of the site and is accessed via the ESB site. The contract will be for the supply of Mechanical, Civil & Electrical Enabling Works to prepare the site for subsequent conversion / upgrading works by: • The removal of redundant equipment, • The removal of existing fuel stock, • Removal of existing pipe work, • Removal of existing electrical cabling, • Cleaning / inspection of remaining tankage. These Works will be undertaken as part of a lead-in project, to ensure that successful conversion is easily achievable.
