Canada’s Woodfibre LNG, a joint venture of Pacific Energy and Enbridge, has started installing the first pipe rack modules at the site of its LNG export facility near Squamish, British Columbia.

Woodfibre LNG announced that the installation of the pipe rack modules is now underway in a social media post on Thursday.

“At the Woodfibre LNG site, these sturdy elevated steel structures will serve as critical conduits from the liquefaction facility to our Floating Storage Tanks, carrying newly formed LNG to storage, ready to be loaded onto incoming LNG tankers,” the JV said.

Last month, Woodfibre LNG took delivery of the first seven modules from China at the site of its LNG export facility

Moreover, the pipe rack modules, transported by the heavy cargo vessel BigLift Baffin, are the first large-scale modular components to arrive at the site for installation.

China’s Qingdao McDermott Wuchuan (QMW), a joint venture consisting of McDermott and China State Shipbuilding Corporation, built and shipped these modules.

QMW will build 19 modules, some weighing in excess of 10,000 metric tonnes, for Woodfibre LNG.

While construction on-site began in September 2023, the LNG project has adopted a modular construction approach to enhance efficiency and meet its construction timeline.

The JV plans to complete the facility, which will have a capacity of 2.1 mtpa and storage of about 250,000 cbm, in 2027.
