ARLINGTON, Va., April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Venture Global LNG announced the successful roof raising of the second LNG storage tank at the Plaquemines LNG export facility in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. This major project milestone was completed ahead of schedule and comes just seven weeks after the roof raising of tank one.
“Today marks another major milestone in the construction of Plaquemines LNG, with both roofs raised for the tanks serving Phase One,” said Mike Sabel, CEO of Venture Global LNG. “With Phase One in full construction and our recent FID and full notice to proceed with Phase Two, Plaquemines is well positioned to be the next major new LNG capacity to hit the global market.”
This is the second tank of four in total for Plaquemines LNG. When it is operational, it will be capable of storing 200,000 cubic meters of LNG. The roof weighs 900 tons and is 294 feet in diameter. Air lifting allows for better and safer access, as well as a faster construction timeline, since the roof can be erected at the same time as the framing. The tank dome was raised in 71 minutes using 0.3 psi of pressure below the roof. It rose from ground level to the top of the wall height of 130 feet. Eventually, the tank will have an inner tank made of 9% nickel alloy and a concrete outer wall and roof to provide full containment of the LNG and offer the highest level of resiliency and safety.
