CB&I Storage Tank Solutions, a division of McDermott International, Inc., is constructing the project’s dual 200,000 m3 tanks. The tank dome was raised in one hour and 20 minutes using 0.25 psi of pressure. Siemens was awarded a contract to supply three boil-off compressor (BOG) packages for Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass LNG Project. Air raising allows for better and safer access as well as a faster construction schedule, as the roof can be erected concurrently with the shell. The 1.8 million pound tank dome and assembly were air raised into place on Tuesday, May 19th, less than a month after the raising of the first LNG tank roof on April 24th. This major project milestone was completed nearly three months ahead of schedule and comes a mere nine months after the project’s final investment decision (FID). Once completed, the Calcasieu LNG project will comprise eighteen 0.626 MTPA liquefaction trains configured in 9 blocks, three pre-treatment trains, each with 50% capacity, two ship loading berths for LNG vessels carrying a capacity of up to 185,000 cubic meters, two 200,000 cubic meter full containment LNG storage tanks, and 720 MW combined cycle gas turbine power plant, including an additional 25 MW gas-fired aeroderivative turbine.Venture Global LNG announced the successful raising of the second LNG storage tank roof at the company’s Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, US. As a company, we will be communicating with local stakeholders in the days and weeks to come to assess how we can support the community’s recovery.” Venture Global said it was working with its EPC contractor, Kiewit Louisiana Co., "to promptly and safely regain access to the project site and supporting facilities, restore utilities to Cameron and the project site, and incrementally support the return to work of craft and Venture Global personnel."īob Pender and Mike Sabel jointly stated, “While we are relieved by the minimal impacts to Calcasieu Pass LNG, we are mindful that the surrounding communities of Cameron and Lake Charles have suffered significant damage from this powerful and historic storm. Most importantly, all employees and contractor personnel are safe and accounted for," the company said. "A walk-through inspection of most areas of the site following the storm confirmed that the project site’s robust storm protection system, including a perimeter wall and stormwater pumping system, performed as designed. The new LNG export facility, Calcasieu Pass, is currently under construction in southwestern Louisiana’s Cameron Parish, approximately 50 miles south of Lake Charles. In a statement on Thursday, the company said that the hurricane had passed directly over the project site after landfall and that it had minimal impact. Venture Global LNG is building the 10 MTPA Calcasieu Pass facility at the intersection of the Calcasieu Ship Channel and the Gulf of Mexico, that is expected to become operational in 2022.
