The Capacity 25 (CAP25) expansion at Isle of Grain LNG Terminal includes a new full-containment LNG tank of 190,000 m³. The tank features a 9% nickel steel inner tank and a slipform-constructed pre-stressed concrete outer shell.
Bowercross Construction Labour (BCL) provided skilled labor for the 24-hour slipform operation, completing the outer structure in 21 days. This rapid construction phase required precision and careful coordination to ensure structural integrity. Upon completion, the expansion will significantly enhance the UK's energy security by increasing the terminal's gas supply capacity.
