Abstract

ESTEYCO has been contracted by BALZOLA contractors to provide civil engineering works within the Engineering – Procurement – Construction – Commissioning (EPCC) contract for the 5th LNG Tank in Zeebrugge (Belgium) to FLUXYS.The project comprises two main structural items. The full containment (type H4) high capacity LNG Tank (180,000 m3). A cylindrical shell (diaphragm wall) with 102.1 m of inner diameter where LNG tank is enclosed, semi-buried.Both, the foreseen high capacity and the maximum height limitation due to Belgian Environmental and Visual Impact legislation, lead to define the cylindrical shell where the LNG Tank shall be erected.
