Crown Concrete Services completed the concrete placement and finishing works to build five pre-stressed concrete containment tanks for liquefied natural gas (LNG) at the new South Hook LNG Terminal near Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

The tanks are a massive 94 metres in circumference and 31metres high, with a domed concrete roof slab rising a further 12metres. The project took two years to complete with up to 200 operatives on site at any one time from us.

Not only technically challenging, the project offered logistical challenges to the team, due to both the remote location but also the need for constant slip forming whilst building the tanks.

Total of 65,000m3 of concrete placement.
