Current Projects - CB&I

The Combined Company
There are several reasons why the combination of Lummus and
CB&I results in a much stronger company with strong future
growth potential. First, the combination of CB&I and Lummus
creates a unique competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Complementary platforms provide clients with integrated offerings
at each stage of the project life cycle – from proprietary
technology to engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction
and final commissioning.
In addition to the strategic advantage the acquisition provides,
the limited overlap between CB&I and Lummus’ execution centers
gives the combined company an expanded global footprint,
which will enable the company to provide high-value
execution capabilities worldwide.
Finally, both companies have built up very strong reputations
over the last 100 years. CB&I and Lummus both have reputations
as safe, high-quality companies with expertise in EPC and
technology. Joining these two companies will enable each entity
to capitalize on the other’s strengths and better respond
to the growing demand for energy infrastructure around the
world.
Moving forward, CB&I will pursue work by offering its clients
services that are best suited for their specific situation. For

LNG Import Terminal in Milford Haven, Wales
Work continues on the South Hook LNG Import Terminal in
Wales, UK – the largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal
in Europe and potentially the largest LNG receiving terminal
in the world. CB&I has been responsible for the engineering,
procurement and construction of the facility, which is designed
to process 15.6 million metric tons per annum base
load LNG supply from the Qatargas II project.
The balance of the plant area is nearing 75% completion, and
continues to be the critical path for the overall Phase I project,
particularly in the mechanical and piping work. To speed up the
on-site progress, CB&I has put in place a number of initiatives,
including a night shift for its piping and mechanical subcontractors.
Completion of the balance of plant scope, including
commissioning, is expected in summer 2008.
As of December 2007, more than 90% of Phase I of the project
is finished, with on-site construction of Phase I nearing 85%
completion. In addition, all of the roofs have been raised on
the five full containment 155,000 cubic meter LNG storage
tanks included in the scope, and all associated civil works are
substantially complete. Hydrostatic testing of the first tank is
scheduled to be conducted in early 2008.
Another milestone reached has been the completion of all
preassembled units and piperacks for the jetty, which were
delivered during the summer of 2007 and have now been installed.
Thus far, the utility piping and LNG lines have also been
installed, and the five off-loading arms have been placed on
berth 1, as well as the fire monitor tower for both berths. Presently,
the crew is concentrating on welding out and testing the
installed pipework.
The current on-site work force stands at more than 2,000
people. More than 7.5 million work-hours have been recorded
at the project site, with an additional 2 million work-hours expected
by the end of the project. First ship/first gas is forecast
for August 2008, at which time, the South Hook facility will provide
a significant new source of natural gas for the UK’s national
transmission network.
