Venture Global Calcasieu Pass Second LNG Storage Tank Roof Raised
May 20, 2020
Venture Global LNG announced today the successful raising of the second LNG storage tank roof at the company’s Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility. The 10 MTPA Venture Global Calcasieu Pass facility is under construction at the intersection of the Calcasieu Ship Channel and the Gulf of Mexico in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
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. The tank dome was raised in one hour and 20 minutes using 0.25 psi of pressure. CB&I Storage Tank Solutions, a division of McDermott International, Inc., is constructing the project’s dual 200,000 m3 tanks.
Venture Global also announced today the first modules for the export facility’s 720 MW combined cycle gas turbine power plant have arrived at the site. Components of the gas insulated switchgear have been successfully installed on schedule, and the site has also begun receiving and setting modules for the air cooled condenser.
