LNG Canada : A major milestone in our LNG Tank journey: cool-down has begun!
LNG Canada : A major milestone in our LNG Tank journey: cool-down has begun!
This shell is fabricated entirely from 9% nickel steel material, a high-performance alloy designed to withstand cryogenic temperatures of -162°C.
📍Engineering excellence in action :
• Shell and bottom made from special 9% nickel steel plates assembled with automated welding machines for maximum precision.
• Automated Ultrasonic Testing and advanced non-destructive testing at each stage
• Strict compliance with cryogenic design codes and international standards for LNG containment.
• Seamless coordination between engineering, procurement, and multi-disciplinary construction teams.
📍A structure at the heart of the tank’s performance
The inner tank is the critical barrier ensuring tightness, structural integrity, and long-term durability under extreme conditions. Its construction reflects uncompromising quality and precision engineering.
📢 Next step: validation through hydrostatic and pneumatic testing.

Nguyen Trinh leads and involves all the business lines to guarantee performance in terms of quality, health, safety and the environment by uniting the teams, from the field to management, around a strong objective: to anticipate, prevent and protect. The role is above all collective.
“Being a construction director means turning technical challenges into collective achievements.”
On the LNG Canada project, Eric Priore led his teams through extraordinary conditions: extreme cold, snowstorms, complex interfaces, and strict HSE requirements.
