Turkish engineering has played a major role in building what is described as the largest floating liquefied natural gas reservoir in the world.

The weight of the structure, built in the Arctic area, is 480,000 tons and covers an area of ​​six football fields. It stands on 121 steel legs, each of which is able to support loads ranging from 55 to 200 tons.

URTIM has provided the hybrid scourge system specifically designed for armed concrete business, developed over three years of the research and development program. The company said that the system allowed different stages of construction to overlap and save time, employment and costs.

Making a hybrid system can start applying the membrane immediately after the first concrete pouring without dismantling the scaffolding – a process that usually requires intense reassurance.

URTIM also provided arduous scores, stairs towers and auxiliary lifting systems throughout the construction.

The LNG tank, which is 330 meters long, is 153 meters wide and 151 meters, is the first of its kind and represents a prominent sign of the global energy and engineering sectors.

“The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ortim Formwork and SCAFOLDING SYSTEMS Inc. said. The project is the most prominent increasing international spread of the company.

He said that Ortim has completed more than 4000 projects in 70 countries in its 45 -year -old history, as it worked in sectors ranging from shipbuilding and transport refineries to infrastructure and health care facilities.

Ortim described the LNG project as a “source of pride” for its engineers and showing its ability to compete on a global scale.
