Shannon Technology & Energy Park (STEP) is a new 40-hectare development in the Shannon Estuary, consisting of a power plant and a liquified natural gas (LNG) terminal. Once complete, the new terminal will import, store and regasify LNG.
New Fortress Energy appointed Moffatt & Nichol to support the planning application process and EPC procurement for the terminal, taking responsibility for the development of the marine works.
The scope involves metocean analysis, mooring and berthing studies, concept development of the access trestle and jetty head, production of the planning drawings, EPC tender package compilation and Owner's Engineer services for the EPC Contractor's Pre-FEED and bid submission.
The scheme includes a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), which will regasify the LNG, from where the terminal will pipe the gas to the adjacent power plant and the Irish national gas grid.
