The project milestone was completed ahead of schedule and comes just seven weeks after the roof raising of tank one, the company said in a statement issued on 17 April.
This is the second tank of four in total for Plaquemines LNG. When operational it will be capable of storing 200,000 m3 of LNG.
According to Venture Global LNG, the roof weighs 900 tons and is 294 feet in diameter. Eventually, the tank will have an inner tank made from 9% nickel alloy and an outer wall and outer roof made from concrete to provide full containment of the LNG and provide the maximum level of resilience and safety.
