The EVT JV is responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction of two LNG full containment storage tanks which have a capacity of 150,000 cubic metres each and two condensate storage tanks with a capacity of 120,000 cubic metres each.
Thiess managing director Bruce Munro said it continues the company’s productive and ongoing relationship with Chevron.
"The JV had been formed to draw on the international LNG tank capability of EV LNG Australia, which is a wholly owned Australian subsidiary of Entrepose Projets and Vinci Construction Grands Projets of France, as well as Thiess’ previous LNG tank experience including the Darwin LNG tanks," said Munro.
"The joint venture brings a unique combination of capabilities that will deliver a high quality outcome and bring certainty to these large complex projects."
Located near Onslow in the WA’s north west, the project will create 475 jobs and 75% of the work under this contract will take place in Australia.
The construction work of the project will start immediately on site in 2013 and is scheduled for completion by 2016.
