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.

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
