Project Description
DEXTER Group proposes to construct and operate a Gas Refinery Terminal at lands near
Sabah forest industries S/B. A number of foreshore leases/license will be required for the
projects. This foreshore lease application relates to a proposed jetty associated with the
proposed development

Description of proposal jetty and reason for the works

The jetty is required to facilitate the berthing and unloading of transport vessels.

Unloading Platform/ Jetty Head

The unloading platform will have a plan area of abput 35 x 39m. It will be supported by
914mm diameter pileas at 7.5m centres. An additional row of piles will be provided along the
berthing face to support the weight of the loading arm and platform. A 610mm thick concrete
deck is proposed for the unloading platform, which would be partially pre-cast to reduce over
water forming or cast-in-situ depending upon local construction practices.
Pipe and roadway trestle
The trestle structure will include pipeway and roadway for maintenance access. The trestle
will connect the unloading platform to the existing infrastructure.
The trestle will be approximately 345m long and comprise about twenty three spans of
approximately 15m length. Precast, pre-stressed concrete beam will span between piles to
form the trestle deck. The trestle structure will be optimized for the most cost efficient span
and intermediate supports based on underlying foundation parametres.
Breasting and Mooring Dolphins
Four breasting dolphins and six mooring dolphins are proposed for the jetty, to accommodate
the range of vessels expected to use the berth. Each of the dolphins will be supported by
eight, 914mm diameter steel piles, which would socketed into the bedrock or driven into the
overburden if sufficiently deep. Elastomeric fenders and quick release mooring hooks will be
installed on the dolphins.

Construction Method Statement

The following is an assessment of the means of construction of the proposed jetty at the time
of application for a forshore lease. Before construction commences, a more detailed
construction method statement will be prepared and submitted for approval in advance of any
works taking place.
The construction of the jetty will include =:
• Installation of the jetty trestle supported on steel piles with a concrete deck and access
roadway to the jetty head.
• Installation of a jetty head.
• Installation of mooring dolphins.
• Installation of breasting fender dolphins.
The jetty structure, mooring and breasting dolphins will be supported on steel piles. The jetty
is likely to be constructed from shore outwards to the jetty head. To optimise quality and
minimise the potential environmental impacts and risks inherent in marine working, the use
of the pre-cast concrete will be maximised. The use of in-situ concrete working will be kept
minimum.
Typically the construction of the jetty will be staged from the water using floating barges and
self-elevating platforms (jack-ups), manned with the teams of marine construction craftsmen ,
divers, operators and labourers plus supervision. Tugboats will be on hand for moving the
floating equipment around. Other smaller equipment such as compressors,generators and land
based machine will be used.
Safety boats will patrol the over and under water construction activities associated with jetty
construction and respond to safety incidentsshould they arise. The boats would patrol the
construction activity associated with the jetty, to protect the safety of all water users. These
boats may also respond to pollution incidents on the water should they ever occur.
The construction material will consists of steel tubular piles, structural steel fabrication,
precast concrete elements, reinforcing steel and in-situ concrete. Materials for concrete are
expected to be sourced locally. Steel for pipes and piles, fabricated shapes and reinforcing
will be sourced on the international market.
Due the presence bedrock, the piles for the structures foundation will be drilled and socketed
in the rock. This operation will require a jack-up platform supporting a large crane-mounted
drill and a large barge mounted support crane. Spoils from the drilling operation will be
conveyed to the surface via reverse circulation through the drill stem and contained within
designated scow or others vessels. Pile installation will most likely advance outward from
shore.
Pile installation over the foreshore that cannot be reached by barge would either be
undertaken using pile walker equipment from the deck, or by means of land-based pile
driving equipment situated on the foreshore itself. To allow safe access and egress of
construction plant to an form the foreshore at the jetty site, a temporary access ramp would be
constructed by a combination of excavation of the cliff and filling/placing the excavated
material onto the foreshore. To minimise damage to sensitive areas of the foreshore during
construction activities, the use of track mats or placement of suitably graded stone on a
geotextile will be employed as necessary. Working areas on the foreshore will be limited to
the safe working minimum necessary to undertake the construction activities. Vehicular
access to the foreshore will be strictly controlled and working areas and access tracks will be
clearly marked and fenced as appropriate. Access point and areas of foreshore disturbed by
the works will be reinstated to their original condition where possible. Upon completion of
the jetty, any disturbance to the cliffs will be repaired and armoured as required to provide
stability.
Piles will be pre-fabricated as much as possible to minimize in-water construction. The piles
and most other prefabricated construction materials for the jetty are expected to be delivered
by barge. Materials may also be stored on barge for short periods as the materials are being
installed. To manage the materials, it is anticipated that several typical 50m long materials
barges will be present throughout the construction period. Concrete mixing/pouring barges
may also be required during construction.
Once the pile installation is underway on or two additional floating spreads will follow in
sequence to lift and set the precast piles caps, beams and deck planks. These spreads will
consist of one or two large floating cranes and materials barges.
The work also involve in-situ grouting of the precast members at the pile tops and other
connection. In-situ work will likely be minimised by the contractor. Any in-situ concrete
work will be staged in a manner to prevent concrete from entering the water. The roadways
and platform deck will be constructed of reinforced in-situ concrete. This work will advance
outward from shore using land-based concrete transit mixers, and any other paving
equipment.
Fuel will be required for the diesel power plant and equipment. To minimise the numbers of
fuel deliveries, on or more sizeable diesel fuel tanks will be installed on site to contain the
fuel for the diesel powered plant. This will be strategically located on a concrete plinth and
will be bunded.
The jetty construction contractor will be required to demonstrate that detailed working
practices and construction methods are appropriate to endure the sufficient measures will be
in place to prevent construction materials and equipment from entering the marine
environment.
If suitable, any excavated material and the spoil from pile installation will be used in the
earthworks or landscaping ashore. If not suitable for reuse, the material will be disposed of to
landfill or at sea.
Duration of works
While is it difficult to estimate the duration required for the construction activities above in
advance of finalised construction techniques, it is estimated that the works would take
approximately 30months to complete.

Post-construction inspection
During and following completion of the works, the sit and adjacent shoreline will be
inspected at regular intervals to ensure that there is no debris or other waste originating from
the site.
