Penspen secures another engineering contract at Jebel Dhanna facility

UK-based Penspen has secured another engineering contract at the Jebel Dhanna Crude Receiving facility in Abu Dhabi.

The contract, awarded by Target Engineering Construction Company, requires Penspen to undertake engineering works for the existing T-1517, 1518 and 1519 crude oil tanks in the Jebel Dhanna facility.

The scope of works will include conducting a site survey, insulation selection, tank dome roof design, and a tank shell adequacy check to enable additional loading in future.

Additionally, Penspen will also carry out necessary checks for both tank foundation adequacy and tank shell and foundation/anchor bolt adequacy for wind and seismic activity.

It will also develop structural engineering drawings with a bill of quantities (BOQ), preparation tank modification drawings related to insulation cleats, dome roof support cleats and platform modifications.

The latest order is in addition to another engineering contract awarded to Penspen by Target Engineering earlier.

Penspen Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific Region executive vice-president Neale Carter said: “To be awarded further work in conjunction with the existing contract we have with Target Engineering is excellent and a great example of Penspen’s reputation within the Middle East market.

“We are confident that our expert services will be delivered seamlessly and build upon the excellent relationship between Penspen and Target Engineering.”

Penspen focuses on providing engineering, project management, asset management and integrity services to the energy industry.

The company employs around 800 people, with offices in London, Mexico, Houston, Abu Dhabi and Bangkok.
