Project Updates: 36 Acre Tank Farm<br />

Seaport Canaveral, Florida USA<br />

This project represents the single largest<br />

investment in Port Canaveral history: 24<br />

storage tanks for a new fuel terminal. CB&I<br />

was chosen by Seaport Canaveral LLC to<br />

engineer, fabricate and construct this 36-acre<br />

tank farm, which will hold 2.8 million barrels<br />

of petroleum products, including gasoline,<br />

diesel, and jet fuel (see chart below).<br />

Central Florida’s population has been growing<br />

at rates between 2 and 5%, which has<br />

increased the need for transportation fuels<br />

for tourism and coastal watercraft activities.<br />

The threat of hurricanes has also increased<br />

the need for fuel storage in this area to<br />

provide a backup supply of fuel to minimize<br />

the impact of natural disasters. The tank farm<br />

is conveniently located in the northern part<br />

of Port Canaveral, at the intersection of major<br />

transportation arteries to reduce transport-toend-market<br />

costs.<br />

Tank construction was completed in August<br />

2009, five months ahead of schedule, despite<br />

two hurricanes that disrupted field operations<br />

during initial construction.<br />
