L&T Energy Hydrocarbon (LTEH) has once again demonstrated its engineering excellence and commitment to timely project execution with a major achievement in the Dahej LNG storage tank project in Gujarat. This it has accomplished for Petronet LNG Ltd.

 

The project – which involves engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of two full containment LNG storage tanks, each with a capacity of 170,000 m³, and associated pipe racks – has reached mechanical completion three months ahead of schedule! This is a testament to L&T’s exceptional execution capabilities and technological prowess.

 

One of the outstanding achievements of the project has been the execution of critical activities, such as the air-raising of an 850 MT steel roof and the hydro- pneumatic testing of the tanks. These complex tasks were accomplished with precision, with in-house engineering expertise and meticulous planning.

 

Despite challenges (such as a disrupted supply chain due to geopolitical factors), LTEH’s robust sourcing and expediting strategies ensured that crucial cryogenic tank components were delivered on time, further underscoring its resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity.

 

The project’s success is not limited to its technical achievements. LTEH also demonstrated an unwavering commitment to Health, Safety and Environment (HSE standards throughout the project.

 

Accumulating an impressive seven million man-hours with zero lost-time injuries, the project has been a model of safety excellence. The dedication to safety has been affirmed by several prestigious awards, including the coveted CII-SR EHS Award.

 

As the project progresses, the focus will now shift to the commissioning of the LNG storage tanks and their seamless integration with the existing facility. LTEH is ensuring that the transition to operational status is smooth, with a successful project handover as the final goal.
