Cameron LNG has awarded an approximately $6bn contract to a joint venture between CB&I and Chiyoda International to build the Cameron liquefaction project at Hackberry in Louisiana, US.
The joint venture will be responsible for engineering, procurement and construction for the addition of natural gas liquefaction and export facilities to the existing LNG regasification facility.

Expected to create about 3,000 on-site jobs, the project will consist of three liquefaction trains with annual nameplate capacity of around 13.5 million tonnes of LNG.
In February, the US Department of Energy (DOE) granted conditional authorisation to Cameron to export domestically produced LNG to countries that have no free trade agreement with the US.
The project will create several jobs at CB&I’s Louisiana fabrication facilities and will also create engineering and project management jobs in its Baton Rouge, Louisiana office so as to support the design, fabrication and construction of the facility.
CB&I president and chief executive officer Philip Asherman said: "This project will utilise a large number of engineering and construction craft workers, and we feel fortunate to be able to contribute to both the growth in jobs and the infrastructure in the state."
