The present soil study was defined in order to provide information for the short term option.
A short term projection for the construction of two loading berths and a longer term option for the construction of a further jetty extension leading to an additional two loading berths. The subsequent geotechnical borings were performed to verify the geophysical data and provide information for the foundation design of the jetty and loading platforms. The geophysical study provided information for the preliminary siting of the offshore facility and suggested the presence of possible buried reefs, paleochannels and faults within the study area. as subcontractor for the offshore drilling and testing. (The geophysical study was performed by a third party and will not be discussed here.) The geotechnical study was performed by Geohidra Consultores, C.A. As part of the preparatory phase for thedesign of the jetty and loading platforms, separate geophysical and geotechnical studies were performed.
is planning to increase the available berthing and loading facilities at the El Palito Refinery in western Venezuela, approximately 10 kIn west of the city of Puerto Cabello. Comments in relation to the evaluation of liquefaction resistance based on the results of the offshore penetration testing are made.ĬORPOVEN, S.A. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first time that dynamic cone measurements have been made in an offshore environment. was small enough to allow direct comparison of theresults. This was made possible by the comparison testing performed at two different locations where the separation between boreholes with different penetration tests. Two types of penetration test were performed (SPT and DCPT) and the results of each are compared. Data from an offshore study in the western part of Venezuela are presented in terms of the penetration test data and liquefaction evaluation.
