CB&I Wins 2.0-Bcf LNG Peak Shaving Storage Project in Wisconsin

CB&I has been awarded a contract to build a 2.0-Bcf LNG storage tank for a peak shaving facility in Wisconsin, supporting gas supply reliability during periods of high demand.

(P&GJ) — CB&I has been awarded a contract by We Energies to design and build a full-containment liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank for a peak shaving facility in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.

The project involves engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction of a single 2.0-Bcf LNG tank, including in-tank pumps, topsides and piping to grade. The site is located south of the Milwaukee metropolitan area and is intended to support gas supply reliability during periods of peak demand.

“We are pleased to continue a strong working relationship with We Energies after the successful completion and operation of their Bluff Creek and Ixonia LNG tank projects,” said Brian Goedken, CB&I’s vice president of operations. “Oak Creek LNG is a critical infrastructure project in the growing region of southeastern Wisconsin that will ensure supply reliability and efficiency during peak energy demand. Our team is excited to apply our engineering and construction excellence to the execution of yet another LNG storage tank in this area.”

The Oak Creek tank will be constructed at the same location where CB&I completed North America’s first LNG peak shaving facility in 1965, according to the company.

CB&I specializes in the design and construction of storage facilities, tanks and terminals, with more than 60,000 structures completed globally over its 135-year history.
