Construction of LNG Terminals

Liquefied natural gas, or LNG, terminals are hubs where LNG is processed into a liquid from a gas, or from a liquid back into a gas. LNG plays a vital role in the transport of natural gas because as a liquid it is considerably denser, about 600 times as dense, as it would be in its gaseous form. This decreased volume allows it to be handled and shipped much more efficiently and cost effectively. Because of these benefits more and more LNG terminals are being built to process the LNG. The quality of construction is paramount because once the facilities are operational their quality of construction will strongly affect their operational productivity and safety.
