The Plains Eagle Ford Terminal project encompassed permitting, comprehensive design, and construction services for the installation of a new marine dock terminal, incorporating breasting and mooring structures, a pre-fabricated steel truss system, and shoreline protection via articulated block mats. The terminal was a multifaceted endeavor aimed at accommodating Aframax class vessels and barges.

Construction involved a steel pile-supported marine dock terminal, featuring a pre-fabricated steel frame system with a concrete topping. To ensure adequate mooring and breasting for vessels, pre-fabricated steel jacket assemblies were meticulously welded to the support piling. Additionally, the project included the construction and installation of a pre-fabricated steel truss system capable of traversing existing railroad tracks to facilitate the laying of product pipelines.

Navigating design challenges, the team tackled the re-design of foundation structures for the truss system, addressing conflicts with existing pipelines. Crucial coordination with the mechanical piping designer was maintained to accommodate all piping penetrations required for dockside equipment and loading arms. The project demanded rigorous interdisciplinary quality control, given the intricate merging of both structural and mechanical designs, ensuring the successful realization of this complex marine infrastructure.
