Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Parramatta and Duck Rivers join, 16km west of Sydney\'s CBD, Australia
Capacity: 23 tanks (number of tanks in use at Clyde are currently 113)
Length: 19km (pipeline)
Start-up Year: Mid 2016
The Clyde Terminal is located where the Parramatta and Duck Rivers join, 16km west of Sydney\'s CBD. Since refining activities ceased in September 2012, the Clyde Terminal continues to receive, store and distribute fuels products into the Sydney and NSW marketplace. The Terminal forms a critical part of the fuel supply chain in Sydney and NSW, supplying around 40% of the State’s fuel needs. Viva Energy Australia (previously Shell) is currently seeking development approval for works to convert what was an operating refinery into a more efficient fuel import and storage terminal - the Clyde Terminal Conversion Project (CTCP). The project will include demolition and removal of redundant refining infrastructure as well as works to improve the environmental and operational performance of the facility.
The Clyde Terminal will continue to operate as a fully functioning fuel terminal during the project works which includes two main components - Demolition and other Capital Works.
Demolition: Involves the removal of redundant refinery processing units, tanks and other infrastructure by mechanical demolition methods including cutting, controlled blasting, minor civil works and removal of associated waste materials.
Redundant refinery processing units have undergone a rigorous decommissioning and cleaning process that included removal of waste and hazardous materials to statutory requirements.
Any remaining waste materials, inclusive of asbestos, have been dentified and will be removed and disposed of in accordance with WorkCover NSW requirements prior to demolition commencing in associated areas. Other Capital Works: Involves works associated with the tanks, bunds, drainage, electrical, instrumentation, fire system and the pipework and pump systems.
