CB&I has announced the award of a substantial lump-sum contract by TJN Ruwais JV for the engineering, procurement, and construction of two cryogenic tanks, along with associated civil, structural, mechanical, and piping works. The project forms a critical component of the liquefied natural gas facility located in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, UAE, which will be the first net-zero LNG facility in the Middle East. TJN Ruwais JV is a joint venture between Technip Energies France-Abu Dhabi, JGC Corporation, and NMDC Energy.
Under the contract, CB&I will deliver two full-containment concrete LNG tanks, each with a capacity of 180,000 cubic metres. The scope also includes all necessary piping and civil infrastructure. Project execution will leverage CB&I’s global network, with tank construction led from its UAE office, engineering support from its Plainfield, Illinois office, and fabrication and modularization provided by its facilities in Saudi Arabia and Thailand, respectively.
Mark Butts, CEO of CB&I, emphasised the company’s longstanding commitment to LNG infrastructure in the Gulf region, stating, “CB&I’s dedication to delivering world-class LNG storage in the Gulf began in 1981, and this project demonstrates our continued leadership in the region. Our global capabilities allow us to provide execution certainty while balancing cost and quality, ensuring the best value for our customers. We are proud to contribute to the energy transition through this landmark project.”
Construction activities for the Ruwais LNG project are slated to begin in November 2025, with completion expected in early 2028. This latest contract further underscores CB&I’s expertise in large-scale cryogenic storage solutions and its commitment to supporting the region’s energy transition goals.
