| SNC-Lavalin and Saipem Awarded Contract for LNG Terminal SNC-CENMC G.P., a partnership between SNC-Lavalin Inc. and CENMC Canada Inc., an affiliate of Saipem SpA, has been awarded a contract by Canaport LNG Limited Partnership to design and build a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import and re-gasification terminal in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. SNC-Lavalin Inc. and CENMC will jointly carry out the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the onshore portion of this world-scale facility, the first constructed in Canada. Work will be carried out from SNC-Lavalin's offices in Montreal and from project site offices in Saint John. The Canaport LNG Terminal includes two LNG storage tanks, each with a nominal capacity of 160,000 m³. The facility, located adjacent to Irving Oil's existing Canaport terminal, will have an initial send out capacity of one billion standard cubic feet per day of natural gas. Work on the project has started and the terminal is scheduled to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2008. Canaport LNG, which will own and operate the terminal, is a limited partnership formed between Repsol YPF, S.A. of Spain and Irving Oil Company Limited of Canada. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
