The final weld took 48 hours of continuous work from teams of
welders working in shifts. More than 380 pipe welders have worked

Fluor and JGC Corporation make up the JGC-Fluor joint venture,

and utilities, marine structures and LNG storage tank.
“The significance of achieving the last weld to support Train
One completion is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the
JGC-Fluor project team, subcontractors and a skilled and dedicated
workforce,” said Jim Breuer, President of Fluor’s Energy Solutions
business. “We are now one step closer to the introduction of gas
and start-up.”
LNG Canada is a joint venture between Shell, Petronas,
PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation and Korea Gas Corporation. The
project will have an initial capacity to produce 12.7 metric tonnes
(14 million tons) of LNG per year with first shipment expected by
the middle of 2025.
