Introducing Arup
Arup is an international firm of consulting engineers, providing
engineering design, planning and project management services for
– Scanada (Canada)
– Slipform International (HK)
• Slipforming is an engineered
procedure
• Slipforming has less
construction joints

Basis of Design
Basis of Design
• Safety Assessment
• Establish performance criteria for elements that are different
– Codes and Standards
– Materials
– Strength
– Serviceability
• Validate the design against these performance criteria
– Liquid tightness
– BOG handling

Schedule
Schedule comparison – Single Containment
for Deep Piled Small ACLNG
• Cost Saving
– ACLNG vs 9%Ni
– 10-15% Full
– 15-25% Single
• Small Scale LNG Tank
sizes
– 10-80,000 m3
• 80,000 m3 looks to be an
efficient arrangement for
small-scale
developments in terms of
Cost / m3 LNG stored.
ACLNG – Conclusions
• ACLNG is a technically acceptable storage solution
• The benefits are
– Flexibility
• Single and Full Containment
• Choice of construction materials
– Faster schedule –
• >6 months for 160,000 m3 Full Containment
• No pre-procurement
– Cheaper – at least 10%
• Favored for small-scale liquefaction projects in Australasia
• Good potential for receival and peak-shaving
