The arrival of the first LNG carrier marked a historic moment for the LNG Canada project. This inaugural cargo initiated...
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.

In June 2026, Entrepose Industries obtained its first ISO 14001 certification. This certification marks an important step in structuring its environmental approach and in the continuous improvement of its industrial practices.

Sébastien Vincens oversees a key area of Entrepose Contracting’s EPC projects: materials, welding processes, non-destructive testing, corrosion protection and quality supervision.
He is involved from the tender stage through to execution, supporting the engineering and procurement teams, Entrepose Industries and the construction site.
