Description of the Project
Redefining the Limits of Construction
In the frozen wilderness of Siberia, where extreme cold challenges every ambition, VINCI Construction Grands Projets and Entrepose Contracting turned the impossible into reality. With unmatched expertise and relentless innovation, these industry pioneers delivered world-class infrastructure in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
A Bold Challenge, Mastered with Precision and Passion
Together with Freyssinet, our teams combined strength and ingenuity to create exceptional projects—proving that performance and reliability can thrive even under the most extreme conditions.
Work done and added value of our solution
Giant Tanks Built in Record Time
Four LNG storage tanks, each with an impressive capacity of 160,000 m³, are taking shape in the heart of Siberia. Confronted with extreme weather conditions, our teams devised and implemented innovative construction methods to complete civil engineering works within a very narrow window: from April to September.
A Challenge Met with Boldness and Efficiency
Less than 18 months passed between signing the contract and delivering the entire project. This achievement encompassed workforce mobilisation, facility design, foundation construction, and the completion of the tanks—a performance that showcases our ability to combine speed, precision, and technical excellence.
Innovation and Expertise Serving the Extreme
This project demonstrates our unique know-how in turning extraordinary constraints into opportunities. Through bespoke solutions and meticulous organisation, we pushed the boundaries of construction to ensure reliability and safety in one of the world’s most hostile environments.
