CB&I and AG&P complete LNG storage tank

The project represents the first large scale onshore LNG storage facility in the Philippines and showcases CB&I's all-steel full containment LNG tank technology. Unlike conventional full containment LNG tanks that rely on reinforced concrete outer walls, the CB&I design, deployed under its agreement with AG&P Industrial, uses 9% nickel steel for both the inner and outer tanks while assuring compliance with LNG industry technical and safety standards.

The commissioning of Tank 1 marked the world's first in-service full containment all-steel LNG tank. With Tank 2 now also fully operational following successful performance testing, the facility stands as a proven demonstration of a technology that delivers enhanced economics, faster construction schedules, and the safety benefits of full containment LNG storage.

CB&I completed construction of the tanks with zero lost-time incidents over more than 1 million work hours, underscoring the project's strong safety performance.

“The commissioning of both tanks at Ilijan is a landmark achievement for all involved,” said Jack Aughenbaugh, Vice President, Operations – International at CB&I. “This project demonstrates that all-steel full containment LNG storage is not only technically feasible but commercially advantageous, delivering safety and operational benefits of full containment storage while improving project economics and schedule certainty. We are proud to have partnered with AG&P Industrial, in support of LNGPH, to establish a new benchmark for LNG infrastructure projects in the region and beyond.”

“CB&I has been an excellent partner to AG&P Industrial in delivering this LNG import terminal in the Philippines on time, in a safe, reliable, and cost-effective manner,” added Alexander Leo Gamboa, President and CEO of AG&P Industrial. "We will surely work with CB&I again for our future projects.”
