US engineering company, CB&I has been awarded a lumpsum contract by TJN Ruwais JV for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of two cryogenic tanks and associated civil, structural, mechanical and piping works for the Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, LNG project.
Once completed, the Ruwais LNG project will become the first net zero LNG facility in the Middle East.
TJN Ruwais JV is a joint venture between Technip Energies France-Abu Dhabi, JGC Corp and NMDC Energy.
Under the contract’s terms, CB&I will deliver two 180,000 cu m full containment concrete LNG tanks, including all of the piping and civil infrastructure.
Project delivery will be led from CB&I’s UAE office for tank construction, its US Plainfield office for engineering, while the Saudi Arabia and Thailand offices will provide fabrication and modularisation support.
“CB&I’s commitment to the Gulf region for delivery of world-class LNG storage began in 1981 and is shown with this latest project award,” said Mark Butts, CEO of CB&I.
“Our ability to offer execution certainty by utilising the global reach uniquely available to CB&I for project delivery, coupled with a balance of cost and quality, allow CB&I to provide the best value product in the market. It also provides us with another opportunity to contribute to the energy transition market.”
Construction is expected to start in November this year with completion targeted for early 2028.
