We design storage and terminal solutions that do more than contain a chemical compound: they enable it to be received, secured, managed through its process interfaces, and transported to distribution centres, the network or for maritime shipment.
Our integrated EPC approach enables us to manage the entire scope of operations, from unloading to dispatch, by securing the interfaces and drawing on the complementary expertise of VINCI Group entities as required by the project.
For LNG, this means full-containment cryogenic tanks and all associated terminal infrastructure, for both imports and exports, with regasification where the project requires it — excluding the liquefaction train.
For LPG, hydrocarbons and certain new molecules, we also deploy spheres, bullets, underground storage, process networks, utilities and surface installations adapted to operating, safety and performance constraints.
Our teams master the design and construction of very large-capacity cryogenic tanks for storing liquefied gases (LNG, ethane, ammonia) at very low temperatures (−163°C for LNG).
We deliver full-containment tanks that combine an inner 9% Ni steel tank with an outer prestressed concrete tank, ensuring high safety and performance.
We also offer vacuum-insulated cylindrical horizontal tanks (vacuum-insulated bullets) for compact cryogenic storage (LH2, LNG, LPG) under pressure (up to 8 bar) with reduced boil-off.
We design and build spherical or cylindrical high-pressure tanks for storing pressurised gases, including LPG, hydrogen, propylene, butadiene, and other industrial gases.
Depending on site constraints, we offer aboveground or mounded configurations to enhance protection.
Compliance with international codes and certifications
In partnership with our sister company Geostock, a global leader in underground storage, we offer bulk storage solutions in salt or rock caverns.
Reference project – Shalapa (Mexico, 2017)
Entrepose Contracting delivered (EPCC) the surface facilities for the storage of 1.8 million barrels of LPG in a salt cavern at a depth of 1,500 m.
