CB&I Secures Major LNG Storage Contract with We Energies

CB&I, a leader in storage solutions, recently announced a significant contract award from We Energies to design and construct a full-containment liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank. This project, located in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, just south of Milwaukee, is pivotal for enhancing the region's energy infrastructure. The contract includes a comprehensive scope of work, encompassing engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction (EPFC) of a 2.0 billion cubic feet (BCF) LNG tank, complete with in-tank pumps, topside installations, and piping to ground level.

Brian Goedken, Vice President of Operations at CB&I, expressed enthusiasm about the project, underscoring the importance of their ongoing partnership with We Energies following the success of previous LNG tank projects in Bluff Creek and Ixonia. He stated, "The Oak Creek LNG facility is critical for ensuring reliable energy supply during peak demand times in the burgeoning southeastern Wisconsin region. Our team is eager to apply our engineering and construction expertise to deliver another state-of-the-art LNG storage solution."

This new tank will be constructed at the site where CB&I established North America’s first LNG peak shaving facility back in 1965. The project not only signifies a continuation of CB&I's legacy in LNG infrastructure but also highlights the growing need for reliable energy storage solutions as demand fluctuates and renewable energy sources expand.

CB&I boasts a rich history spanning over 135 years, with more than 60,000 completed structures, establishing itself as a global provider of complex energy infrastructure solutions including storage tanks and terminals. The company’s expertise in this domain allows them to meet intense market demands and ensure that projects are executed with the highest standards of safety and efficiency.

The construction of the Oak Creek LNG storage tank aligns with the ongoing efforts to bolster energy security and reliability—particularly significant in regions experiencing rapid growth or transitioning to more sustainable energy solutions. As energy demands evolve, facilities like this new LNG tank will play a crucial role in stabilizing energy supplies and facilitating seamless energy transition.

In conclusion, the collaboration between CB&I and We Energies marks a significant milestone in the development of essential energy infrastructure necessary to support Wisconsin's growing energy needs. With the engineering and construction phases underway, the project promises to contribute positively to the region's energy landscape while reinforcing CB&I’s reputation as an industry leader.
