An INTEC design of terminals typically includes the following work elements:

• hydraulic analysis to determine pipe and hose diameter and other component sizing for an offloading line based on available ship pumping capacity; or for trade-off and selection of pipe diameter and onshore booster pump capacity for a loading terminal;
• surge analysis to simulate valve closure and resulting pressure surges;
• pipeline design along the lines described in more detail under the INTEC Marine Pipeline capability section;
• planning and supervision of model testing in a ship model basin of the selected mooring concept in case the type or environmental circumstances are different from what has been proven;
• preparation of mooring system procurement specifications;
• design of fixed berth or other fixed structure, including selection of materials, sizing, and installation methodology;
• preparation of bid packages for supply of moorings;
• preparation of bid packages for installation of pipelines, PLEM's, moorings, hose systems, or fabrication and construction of fixed structures;
• development of operating and maintenance procedures for mooring, de-mooring, change-out of hoses and hawsers, and routine inspections and maintenance;
• design of support facilities such as hose handling facilities and small boat harbor; and,
• preparation of emergency response procedures, and the procurement of emergency response equipment such as oil spill containment and clean-up, and fire fighting.

In addition INTEC can provide assistance during start-up and operation of terminal facilities, and in training of operating staff.
