(f) New Refinery Storehouse .
With the enlarged refining facilities installed
during the last two years increased storehouse equipment
was necessary. To fill this requirement, a new
98' x 204 1 storehouse was started in the latter part of
1945 and should be completed early in 1946.
(g) Additional Generator - No.2 Power Plant .
An additional 3,000 KW. generator purchased
in connection with the increased operating facilities
is in the process of installation and should be avail
able for use early in 1946. With the completion of
this unit the total rated nominal electric power capa
city will be 14,000 KW.
(h) Causeway .
The new 30' width causeway which was indicated
in last year's report ars being built to a point about
13,000 feet offshore was placed into operation before
full completion in order to utilize it in connection
with the new wharf construction. Also during the latter
part of the year it was used to great advantage in con
nection with a 6,500 ton cargo of bulk coke and three
full cargoes of drummed products from the drum plant.
As intimated above, the causeway construction is not
yet complete, a certain amount of dirt and rock fill
still being required to bring the roadway up to speci
fied elevation before final grading can be completed,
(i) New Wharf .
During 1945 construction of a -new 4 berth
wharf was started, located about 1800 feet beyond the
pierhead terminus of the new causeway and connected to
it by an elevated trestle capable of full scale truck
traffic. Jt is expected that the south end will be
ready for receipt of incoming cargo in January 1946 and
that all construction will be complete for.full opera
tion about March, 1946. With the completion of these
facilities and the new loading pumps at Sitra, it should
be possible to finish any bulk oil shipment in 24 to 36
hours.
(j) Camp Facilities .
The growing Company facilities and increased
personnel have necessitated extensions to the Awali
village. A new housing area has been laid out and six
new two-bedroom and eleven new three-bedroom air cooled
houses have been built and twenty two-bedroom houses
are in the course of construction. A new sewage pump-
house was also constructed in this area. The Awali
storehouse office was found to be inadequate and was
extended during the year.
(k) Personnel .
The following gives a summary of the personnel
employed by the Company on their regular operations and
on additional construction work during the year:-
