Industrial Structures

LNG liquid gas reservoirs Cameron, United States of America

LNG liquid gas reservoirs, Cameron, USA - In the US state of Louisiana, three enormous liquid gas tanks were simultaneously realized using PERI know-how. Each of the structures has an 80 m diameter and a wall height of 44 m.
LNG liquid gas reservoirs, Cameron, USA - In concreting cycle heights of 4.65 m, the customized pre-assembled VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork and CB climbing scaffold system were moved by crane in the form of climbing units.
LNG liquid gas reservoirs, Cameron, USA - The PERI formwork solution took into consideration the external inclination in the bottom third of the wall as well as wall thickness offsets in the area of the buttresses.

Project data

Location: Cameron, United States

3 circular containers for liquid gas storage with 77.50 m inner diameter and 43.80 m wall height each

Construction period: until 2007

Requirements

  • simultaneous manufacturing of 3 reservoirs
  • diminution of the wall cross section from 90 cm to 75 cm
  • consideration of reinforced shear walls

Customer

Baker Concrete Constr., Houston

Customer's benefit

  • saving of expensive tie points (only two tie layers at 4.65 m concreting height)
  • moving of VARIO and CB as climbing unit in one crane lift
  • climbing in 2-week cycle
  • smooth and safe striking and moving
  • punctual completion

Striking and moving worked easily and safely. It only took us 13 days for one concreting section with the PERI climbing formwork solutions, and thus we are able to adhere to our schedule.

PERI solution

  • delivery of 468 completely pre-assembled, rounded-out VARIO panels, 3.20 m wide and 4.90 m high
  • 80 climbing units for each reservoir, supported by CB 240 climbing platforms
  • friction-locked connection with VARIO articulated coupling
