Planned LNG (liquefied natural gas) storage facilities may require ground improvement to increase soil bearing capacity and control settlement, deep foundations to transfer loads to competent bearing ground, or drainage to accelerate the consolidation of saturated soils before construction. Existing facilities may require remedial work if structures experience excessive settlement or additional structures increase loads beyond the capacity of the current foundations. Planned or existing facilities may also require earth retention to facilitate a stable, safe excavation when constructing below grade structures
Keller has a range of limited access equipment which enables grouting techniques and installation of drilled deep foundations in tight spaces and crowded areas. They have completed hundreds of oil, gas and chemical projects, and understand the unique challenges that come with working in this sector. Their team understands and embraces the safety culture that is integral to this market. Keller has a keen understanding of the importance of working within an existing facility, striving to limit their impact on the operations of the facility, while safely installing a new foundation or remediating existing foundation. Keller's design engineers are familiar with the relevant codes, such as API, that are used for the design of these facilities.
