Abstract—The Ichthys LNG Project, one of the world’s largest LNG developments, involves gas from the Ichthys Field in the Browse Basin off north-west Australia being exported to the onshore processing facilities in Darwin via an 889km pipeline. This project consists of 2 identical trains, one train of Ichthys PAR shall be fabricated as a whole structure and high accuracy shall be achieved in erection phase. It brings big challenge to erection work of these modules. Reasonable structure erection technology ensures good performance of fabrication activities. This paper presents mainly the structure erection technology for PAR modules of Ichthys Onshore LNG Project and also discusses special problems associated with the erection process including the erection sequence, the foundation settlement control, the method for dimensional control etc. The presented experience will benefit the construction of future modular construction.
Index Terms—Dimension control, erection, LNG, structures.
