Abstract

This paper considers cavern schemes for crude oil storage and warehouse-shelter facilities. The crude oil storage scheme, which consists of five caverns, provides a net storage capacity for crude oil of 800,000 m3; the total cost for the facility, including civil construction, mechanical and electrical instrumentation, is in the order of S$80-100 million. The warehouse-shelter scheme consists of five storage caverns with combined storage capacity of 210,000 m3, and a defence shelter with capacity of 2000 persons. The cost for the warehouse-shelter scheme is S$66 million, including all mechanical and electrical utilities, systems for ventilation, fire prevention and smoke extraction, and pump installations for discharging leakage water.
