Complete Programs Development of seismic hazard map for Betano Refinery – Timor-Leste

The project assessed earthquake risks to the Betano refinery project in Timor-Leste to guide structural design of the refinery plant and related facilities. Key activities included modeling of earthquake sources; identification of models that reasonably represent attenuation characteristics of earthquake ground motions in the area; hazard evaluation; and production of probabilistic seismic hazard maps.

The project aims to establish 4 real-time sea-level stations in Myanmar (1), the Philippines (1), and Vietnam (2) for monitoring earthquakes, for tsunami early warnings. Key activities include site survey to determine location appropriate for tsunami warning, design and construction of seismic vaults, equipment acquisition, and on-site installation, telemetry, and reliability testing.
