摘要:
An LNG system generally comprises a primary container, and a secondary container positioned around the primary container. The secondary container generally comprises a first end wall, a second end wall, and at least two side walls. At least one of the walls is fabricated from a plurality of prefabricated wall panels. Each of the wall panels is fabricated from a combination of concrete and steel. The wall panels are preferably prefabricated offsite, and then transported to the construction site where they are adjoined together in end-to-end fashion to form walls. A method for constructing a full containment LNG system is also provided. In one embodiment, walls and a roof for a secondary container are assembled, but leaving an end open. At least one primary tank is brought into the secondary container. A second end wall is then erected to form the enclosure for the secondary container.

摘要:
Substantially rectangular-shaped tanks are provided for storing liquefied gas, which tanks are especially adapted for use on land or in combination with bottom-supported offshore structure such as gravity-based structures (GBS). A tank according to this invention is capable of storing fluids at substantially atmospheric pressure and has a plate cover adapted to contain fluids and to transfer local loads caused by contact of said plate cover with said contained fluids to an internal frame structure comprised of a plate girder ring frame structure and/or an internal truss frame structure. Optionally, a grillage of stiffeners and stringers may be disposed on the plate cover and additional sifters disposed on the plate girder ring frame structure and/or an internal truss frame structure. Methods of constructing these tanks are also provided.

摘要:
A large, box-like polygonal tank for storing liquefied gas on land or on ground based structures (GBS) and a method of constructing the tank. The tank is comprised of an internal, truss-braced, rigid frame, having a cover on the frame for containing the stored liquid within the tank. The internal, truss-braced frame allows the interior of the tank to be contiguous throughout while compensating for the dynamic loads caused by the “sloshing” of stored liquid which, in turn, is due to the short excitation periods cause by seismic activity or the like.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for constructing an ice structure in deep (e.g. 50 feet) waters having a moving sheet of ice on the surface. A rubble generator is positioned in the path of the ice sheet and a portion of the marine bottom is artificially raised adjacent to and on the upstream side of the generator by submerging at least one berm onto the marine bottom. The height of the berm is such that it artificially raise the marine bottom to a depth which is less than the original keel depth of a pile of ice rubble formed when the moving ice sheet interacts with the generator thereby the rubble pile will be spontaneously grounded and immobilized on the berm. Once the rubble pile is grounded, additional ice (e.g. spray-ice) is accumulated thereon to complete the ice structure.
