Eichleay has performed MOTEMS audits for the BP and Phillips 66 Richmond Terminals, the Plains All American Richmond and Martinez Terminals, and the Tesoro Avon, Amorco, and Long Beach Terminals to comply with California State Lands Commission (CSLC) requirements.

This work involved interfacing with the CSLC, developing cost estimates to bring the wharfs into compliance and performing design engineering for specific tasks including structural, seismic, fire prevention, detection and suppression, piping, mechanical, and electrical upgrades.
