BESIX Canada and its joint venture partner Vancouver Pile Driving have been awarded a contract to build the marine berthing facilities at the LNG Canada export facility under development in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada.
Awarded by the engineering, procurement and construction contractor JGC-Fluor BC LNG, the contract calls for the construction of a 500-m quay wall, an LNG platform, multiple dolphins and onshore infrastructure such as roadways and foundations for buildings. The joint venture of BESIX Canada and Vancouver Pile will also build scour protection, roadways, foundations for buildings, electrical works and install automated navigation aids. Construction will begin this year with completion targeted for 2021.
FID on the US$40Bn LNG Canada export project was taken in October 2018. When its first two trains are commissioned in the mid-2020s, LNG Canada will produce 14 mta of LNG for export. Shell owns a 40% stake in the new LNG export project, with the remaining interests controlled by Malaysia’s Petronas (25%), China’s PetroChina (15%), Japan’s Mitsubishi (15%) and South Korea’s Kogas (5%).
