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.

The arrival of the first LNG carrier marked a historic moment for the LNG Canada project. This inaugural cargo initiated the cool down sequence, allowing the Storage Tank to safely reach cryogenic conditions — a decisive step toward full operation.
During VINCI Construction Safety Days, Entrepose Contracting reaches a significant milestone in its commitment to health and safety. One figure captures the collective discipline of its teams: one million hours worked without a lost-time incident on the Gate Terminal LNG Storage Tank 24-T-01 project, located
