Project Overview:
Bechtel Energy is currently planning and executing a large number of lump sum self-perform direct hire LNG projects throughout the US Gulf Coast. In addition to LNG tanks, other Field Erected Tanks (FET) are included in projects’ scope. This has also created a demand for Tanks Civil Field Engineer support across the Energy Business Line. As the #1 LNG EPC contractor by installed capacity, Bechtel has the capability to successfully deliver a broad range of LNG projects through our integrated EPC self-perform model, strategic partnerships, and proven experience in LNG project delivery. Partnering with Bechtel means lower cost, shorter delivery schedules, and greater certainty of outcomes for our customers.
