| Dragados Offshore will erect a terminal near Venice The companies Exxon Mobil, Qatar Gas and Edison Gas, by way of Aker Kvaerner, awarded the Adriatic LNG Project to Dragados Offshore. It consists of the construction, on a block of floating concrete, of a natural gas re-gasification plant weighing 12,000 tons that will be installed in the northern Adriatic Sea, a short distance away from Venice. The floating gas plant, one of the first to be installed in Europe, will be built at Dragados Offshore's facilities in Puerto Real (Cadiz). Dragados Offshore is a company belonging to ACS Group's industrial services and it is integrated in Dragados Industrial (Dinsa). The plant will be transported in modules by sea to the Southern dock of the old shipyards in Crinavis, at Algeciras Harbour, where it will be assembled on a floating concrete pontoon that is currently in construction, and in 2008 it will be taken to its final destination near the coast opposite Venice. The construction works will begin in June 2006 and they will be completed in October 2007. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
