With the arrival of the last module by ship from its fabrication yard in Zhuhai, China, Fluor Corporation announced that it has completed the module fabrication program on the LNG Canada project in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada. This significant milestone marks the completion of a critical phase in the construction of a large terminal for the liquefication, storage and loading of liquified natural gas (LNG) for export to global markets.
Fluor, along with its joint venture partner JGC Corporation, is delivering multiple aspects of the LNG Canada project, including engineering, procurement, fabrication and delivery of modules, and construction of the project's infrastructure and utilities, marine structures and LNG storage tank.
