The arrival of the first LNG carrier marked a historic moment for the LNG Canada project. This inaugural cargo initiated...
The main purpose to hydrotest a LNG tank is to verify the primary containment’s tightness and confirm the structural integrity of the foundation under full load conditions while the pneumatic test ensures the tank is gas-tight.
Tests executed with precision and discipline
• 145,000 m³ of water to validate the LNG tank’s primary containment tightness and foundation integrity
• No leakage detected, with full validation achieved during the first sequence
• A pneumatic test performed under similar conditions to confirm the tank is gas-tight and free from emissions
A collective achievement
These tests were made possible through close coordination between geotechnical, mechanical, and civil engineering teams, supported by construction, quality and safety oversight.
The achievement of this milestone reflects a shared commitment to delivering a safe, reliable, and fully compliant infrastructure.
Next step: final closure of the tank and nitrogen inerting of the tank

The client was expecting a physical scale model of its industrial facility to be delivered to its offices in time for Christmas.
Two months before the deadline, the model was damaged during customs processing. Repairing it in time was no longer possible. It was
