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!
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

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.
