LNG Canada : A major milestone in our LNG Tank journey: cool-down has begun!
LNG presents challenges that few players truly master: 9% Ni steel at −163 °C, prestressed concrete under cryogenic loads, thermal cycle management, and non-destructive testing of welds in a controlled atmosphere. It is on these specific challenges that Entrepose Contracting has built its expertise through the delivery of tanks, operational terminals, and successful commissioning projects.
For LPG and hydrocarbons, the same high standards apply to other configurations: spheres, buried cylinders, and high-pressure storage facilities. We work on these structures using the same risk management methods, the same certification standards, and the same seamless integration of engineering, fabrication and construction.
LNG is natural gas cooled to around −162°C to reduce its volume and facilitate storage and transportation. Key challenges include containment safety, controlling boil-off losses, asset resilience, and LNG terminal availability.
We master the entire design and construction chain for fully contained cryogenic tanks : 9% Ni steel inner vessel and prestressed concrete outer shell.

These projects demonstrate strong expertise in delivering large-capacity cryogenic assets in complex environments.
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas—propane, butane, blends) is stored under pressure and/or at low temperature. Priorities include mechanical integrity, industrial safety, and compliance with applicable codes and standards (e.g., ASME).
Typical solutions are spheres and bullets, aboveground or mounded (buried under an earth berm) to combine compactness, safety, and availability.
Major LPG projects
We support onshore Oil & Gas and petrochemical players with reliable, high-performance solutions for process units, terminals, and storage infrastructure (tanks, process networks), and we have recognised expertise in commissioning and ramp-up to performance.
