Tanjung Langsat Port Expansion (Construction Of Specialized Cargo Wharf), Johor, MALAYSIA

Technip of France has plans to construct a manufacturing facility at Tanjung Langsat Industrial Area in the state of Johor, Malaysia. The proposed factory would manufacture flexible pipes for the oil & gas exploration industry. Technip has opted to locate the factory at Tanjung Langsat due to the availability of a waterfront location with suitable access for their own transport ship. This vessel, named ‘Deep Blue’, is a purpose-built ultra deepwater pipelay and subsea construction ship.

DNA has been engaged by Tanjung Langsat Port to design the proposed wharf and berthing facility to cater to Technip’s requirement.

The major scope of work is as follows:

• Land reclamation of approximately 150m x 350m with proper soil treatment to allow for specific equipment requirement such as crane and storage area;
• 25m wide approach bridge of 250m from the edge of the reclaimed land to the jetty head or wharf;
• Constructing jetty head or wharf of 130m x 80m with proper breasting and mooring dolphin structures; and
• Dredging to ensure minimum draught of 12m for ‘Deep Blue’ with consideration for long term maintenance dredging
