The report covered activities for the CCL Stage 1 (Trains 1 and 2, Tanks A and C, OSBL, West Jetty and East Jetty Civil Works) and CCL Stage 2 (Train 3, Tank B and East Jetty Topsides) projects that occurred during the month of June 2018.
The report noted Stage 1 Engineering and Procurement are now 100.0% complete. Subcontract and direct hire construction work are 75.9% and 77.8% complete, respectively. Overall project completion for Stage 1 is 89.9%. Train 1 is projected to achieve substantial completion in the 1st half of 2019 and Train 2 in the 2nd half of 2019. Stage 2 Engineering is 61.4% complete. Procurement is 47.3% complete. Subcontract and direct hire construction work are 2.6% and 2.9% complete, respectively. Overall project completion for Stage 2 is 28.7%.
Stage 1 continued progressing work in pipe completion,
testing, restoration, and insulation of critical path systems. The activities
on the refrigeration compressor deck continue to progress as the team prepares
for first fire and mechanical runs. In June, the OSBL team focused on the flare
systems. Major highlights for June included: completing all initial flushes of
the mineral and synthetic oil systems in Train 1 refrigeration compressors,
completion of all Train 1 turbine cold cranks, water treatment plant
commissioning, and completion of all major Train 1 cold box piping tie-ins. LNG
Tank A is preparing for the loading of perlite. Construction has turned 169
systems over to Startup through the end of June.
Stage 2 continued site preparation, mudmat placement, and placement of concrete
foundations and columns/pedestals. The team continued design development for
Train 3 and OSBL East Jetty. The major placements during June included:
ethylene refrigeration compressor foundation and a portion of the compressor
deck columns. The underground high-density polyethylene (“HDPE”) pipe welding
and installation continued. Installation of metallic amine pipe commenced this
period.
