URS has been tapped to set up an integrated engineering environment for LNG Canada‘s proposed liquefied natural gas export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia as the project’s main information contractor.
“LNG Canada has chosen us as a partner to ensure coordinated, consistent, complete and accurate data for the entire project life cycle,” Mark Costello, general manager of URS’ industrial and process group, said Tuesday.
The company will work with prime contractor CFSW LNG Constructors for the front-end engineering design phase to develop an environment that will enable the centralized creation and exchange of information to bring operational efficiencies, URS said.
The LNG Canada project is expected to facilitate the production of a combined 12 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas a year with two initial processing units called “trains,” with an option to expand to four trains.
