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!
A total of 9 fully pre-assembled units, with unit weights ranking from 100 to 390 tons, have been lifted and set up within millimetric tolerances, 59 meters above ground, on top of the tank. A very high-capacity crane of 1350 metric ton, totalizing 72 trucks for its transportation, was mobilized specifically for these precision lifts, on a site with limited access.
The safe and smooth installation of these complex structures demonstrated the engagement and expertise of our work crews and front-line supervisors, strengthened by our leading safety culture.
📍Highly technical lifting operations
The modules were installed on the roof of the tank with:
✅ Strict adherence to life-critical safety processes and to pre-task risk assessments
✅ Meticulous coordination between the logistics, lifting, and mechanical teams
✅ Lifting systems designed for the extreme winter conditions
✅ Precision execution in a constrained environment
📍A key milestone before the installation of the cryogenic pumps
This essential step prepares for the installation of the in-tank pumps that will enable LNG to flow safely and efficiently.
📢 Next step: suspended deck erection and insulation – a key operation to ensure the tank’s thermal performance.

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.
