SOIL CONDITIONS

6.1

GEOTECHNICAL DATA

For details, refer to [6].

The homogenized soil conditions according to [6] can be summarized, based on DIN EN ISO-14688- 1 as follows: ● Until a depth of +1.5 m NHN, the site consists of a filling containing partially silty and organic sands with debris and remains of wood and plants in a loose to medium-dense density. With the performed CPTs a cone resistance of qc,mean = 5 MN/m² was documented.

● Below the layer of filling until a depth of -5.0 m NHN a layer of upper Klei, consisting of clayey,

sandy silt, was encountered. Small amounts of organic remains (wood and plants) were documented. The consistency is soft to mushy / pulpy. According to [6] soft layers of Klei, can extremely vary in height and depth. In boreholes B 2 and B 3 the layer thickness varies between 5.0 m and 6.2 m. The widespread Klei soils can be classified as very sensitive to frost, low shear strength and very sensitive to settlements. FWT provides an undrained shear strength of cu = 10 kN/m² for this soil layer. The determined ignition loss was between 3.4% and 9.5%.

● Until a depth of -14.5 m NHN the upper Klei is underlain by a layer of tidal sands (Wattsande), consisting of silty fine to medium sands with intermediate layers of Klei and remains of shell detritus. The layer thickness varies between 9.5 m and 13.0 m. The density varies strongly between loose to mediumdense. With the performed CPTs a cone resistance of qc,mean = 15 MN/m² was documented.

● Below the tidal sands until a depth of -18.5 m NHN another layer of Klei (base Klei) was

encountered. Intermediate layers of sand and a varying consistency from soft to firm were documented. The layer thickness varies between 3.0 m and 4.0 m. FWT provides an undrained shear strength of cu = 30 kN/m². The determined ignition loss was between 5.5% and 9.5%.

● Underneath the base Klei and down to the final depth of the boreholes a layer of sand and partially gravel, consisting of medium to coarse sands and small amounts of silt, was encountered. Drilling obstacles were documented in the intermediate gravel layers. The density varies between mediumdense and very dense. With the performed CPTs a cone resistance of qc,mean = 20 MN/m² was documented.

In borehole B3 at a height of -35.5 m NHN a lense / layer of lignite / brown coal mixed with intermediate layers of peat and sand was encountered within the sand layer. The layer thickness is ~4.0 m. The CPTs did not reach this layer. The brown coal can be classified as sensitive to settlements. Detailed soil investigations are required to further investigate the location of this layer and the soil mechanical properties.

Picture 4 shows the encountered subsoil conditions according to [6].

As depicted in Picture 5, the CPTs indicate an almost homogeneous soil layering in the area of the LNG tanks. This shall be further reviewed in the detailed design state with further subsoil investigations with additional boreholes and CPTu.

6.2 WATER TABLE

According to the monitoring wells listed in [6] the groundwater levels vary between +2.8 m NHN (in the North-East) and -0.8 m NHN (in the South-West) in the project area.

The backwater on top of the upper Klei can temporarily rise to the current ground level and, depending on the receiving water conditions, even beyond.

Refer to [6]

6.3

SOIL RESISTIVITY

At this stage, no resistivity measurements have been done, and a dedicated resistivity measurements campaign shall be carried out by EPC CONTRACTOR.

For FEED’s electrical requirements, a value of maximum ground bed resistance of 1 Ohm has taken into account in document HEHSGZ-TCN-161-007 - Specification for Cathodic Protection.

As specify in this document, a soil resistivity survey measurement report shall be performed by the EPC CONTRACTOR.

SEISMIC CONDITIONS

The location of the Terminal is not exposed to significant seismic activity. Accordingly seismic hazard could be neglected for the SITE according to the seismic zones classification of Germany defined in DIN 4149:2005-04.

For details, refer to [3] and [5].

Nevertheless, as per DIN EN 1473 Annex C (as well as NFPA 59A), a site-specific seismic hazard evaluation shall be carried out to determine earthquake levels OBE, SSE. ● Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE)

The Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) is defined as the maximum earthquake event for which the essential fail-safe functions and mechanisms are designed to be preserved. Permanent damage can be expected of this lower probability event, but without the loss of overall integrity and containment. The installation would not remain in continuous service without a detailed examination and structural assessment at ultimate limit state. The return period of the SSE is 4975 years.

● Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE)

The Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) is defined as the maximum earthquake event for which no damage is sustained and restart and safe operations can continue after earthquake. The higher probability event would result in no commercial loss to the installation and public safety is assured. An OBE event shall require a structural assessment to be carried out at the serviceability limit state. The return period of the OBE is 475 years

The document “6358-1 (30 sept 2021) - Seismic study - Earthquake design parameters” (see ref [5]) presents the results of geological, tectonic and seismological studies. In this document, the following peak ground accelerations on seismic bedrock shall be considered for the design of LNG facilities: ● OBE Horizontal peak ground acceleration (at bedrock): ● SSE Horizontal peak ground acceleration (at bedrock):

ag = 0.0004 g

ag = 0.004 g

Where g = 9.81 m/s²

According to DIN EN 1998-1/NA:2021-07, the below OBE and SSE elastic responses spectra have been defined considering the geologic underground class “S” and a seismic soil class “C”.

According to document “StE_LNG_Stade_EQ_design_parameters_2021_09_30 (002)”, the largest registered earthquake in northern Germany with local magnitude ML 4.5 took place in the year 2004 with distance 71 km south of the project site east to the city of Bremen.

Following magnitudes with appropriate conservativity can be recommended for liquefaction analysis: ● OBE - 475 years earthquake return period ● SSE - 4975 years earthquake return period

Magnitude: 6.0.

Magnitude: 4.5,

WEATHER DATA AND DESIGN CONDITION

8.1

TEMPERATURE DATA

Air Temperature

The thermal variation in Germany can be extracted from Picture 7 (average temperatures in summer times) and Picture 8 (average temperatures in winter times). Scientists expect that the overall trend for an increase of average temperatures will commence, so that also the temperature of the River Elbe water will slightly increase in turn in average.

In summary a delta-T of 20°C must be considered for environmental average temperature variation for the Terminal location.

LIGHTNING

The Terminal location is characterized by a relatively low number of lightnings per square kilometres compared to other locations in Germany.

A number between 0,8 and 1,27 lightnings per km² have been registered in 2017 and 2018 for the relevant location (Hamburg as representative).

In order to face the hazard of lightnings the Terminal must be equipped with an appropriate lightning protection system, comprising conductors at each exposed high position of the Terminal (e.g. Tank tops, lighting masts, marine loading arms).

8.7 WIND CONDITIONS

The Terminal is in an area characterized by relatively strong winds up to 4.6 m/s as can be seen in Picture 11. In addition, wind gusts exceeding 40 m/s might occur during winter storms with a return period of 20 years, Picture 12.

All facilities reaching out of the general plant silhouette like lighting masts or the top of the storage Tanks have to be outlined accordingly, e.g. secured against heavy winds or storms with heavy gusts.

The prevailing wind direction(s) at the Terminal location can be seen in the windrose in Picture 3.

(return period 20 years)

(Ref [1])

Wind loads shall be computed and applied in accordance with procedures outlined in DIN EN 1991- 1-4, Eurocode 1 “Actions on structures”.

As long as all associated criteria as per EN1991-1-4 are taken into account for wind speed and wind gusts (values and durations), Stade is considered as : Wind Zone 3 (Vb,0=27.5 m/s) and category II (Geländekategorie).

Example: at a height of 20m, wind gust of 156 km/h shall be considered (ref. “Böengeschwindigkeit” GII at a height of 20m ⇒ 156 km/h)

8.8

VISIBILITY

Visibility in the Terminal area can be poor in time periods with intensive fog caused by humidity condensing in cold air when approaching the coastline in wintertime.

This fact must be considered by e.g. planning the navigation of Tankers for berthing at the Terminal and when personnel has to climb to the high rising LNG Tanks. A suitable means of communication (e.g. walkie talkies or handheld transceivers) has to be available to mitigate the risk of missing visual contact between involved parties during operations.
