Structural solutions tailored to tightly constrained sites in operating refineries.
Aliağa Refinery — Petkim and STAR
MBY has delivered a broad range of structural engineering assignments for industrial facilities in Aliağa, including Petkim and the STAR Aegean Refinery Project. The portfolio covers process-area interventions, equipment foundations, access platforms, utility-line modifications and steel pipe-rack structures, supporting both new installations and upgrades within operational refinery environments.
These projects included the design of a cyclone-cleaning platform, the foundation for the G-108C pump, new 20-inch and 10-inch PW lines within the water-treatment plant, and works associated with furnace, pool, caustic process areas, and fire fighting systems. Each assignment required solutions tailored to tightly constrained sites, where the interface with existing equipment, pipework and surrounding structures was central to the engineering approach.

How Is the Seismic Risk of an Existing Building Assessed?
Rapid screening, statutory risk determination and code performance assessment: what each covers and why one does not replace another.

Strengthen or Demolish and Rebuild? The Decision Criteria
Why the decision starts with technical assessment, and how cost, programme and conditions of use are then compared between the two options.

How Is Seismic Risk Screened Across a Building Portfolio?
A staged programme from FEMA P-154 to ASCE 41 Tier 3 across large portfolios, and the rough time scale each stage implies per building.
