Description
The constructions related to the oil industry offer a wide range of case studies for civil engineering due to the fact that they entail different types of structures adapted to various products resulting from both the exploitation process and the refining process.
As known, constructions can house products with considerable density, as well as volatile substances, each presenting specific vulnerabilities related to storage conditions. Even though petroleum is not chemically aggressive, derived oils as well as the condition of bottled products can be sources of risk for explosions and fires.
In the current conditions generated by climate change, new requirements and demands arise that the civil engineering specialist must take into account. The authors develop the risks generated as well as a series of measures with modern procedures for appropriate operating conditions.
Keywords: Constructions, Operational Safety, Oil Industry.
