Roof raised at Calcasieu Pass

摘要

VENTURE Global LNG has raised the first storage tank roof at its Calcasieu Pass liquefied natural gas export development in Louisiana, US. The 816-tonne tank dome and assembly last week were air-raised into place. Venture Global, which is based in Arlington, Virginia described the lift as a "major project milestone" and noted it was achieved eight months after the facility was sanctioned. The company also announced that Calcasieu Pass LNG's marine perimeter wall and levee are now complete, three months ahead of schedule. In a statement, Venture Global commented that: "With the site now fully protected, the focus turns to the arrival and installation of the project's modular equipment." Continuing, the Vir-gina-based player said: "The first pipe rack modules arrived at the site and were successfully installed in April and equipment for the project's 720-megawatt combined cycle gas turbine power plant is scheduled to begin arriving next month."
