Our unique EPC approach – designing and building projects turnkey and self-performing the work from concept to commissioning – sets us apart. For more than a century, CB&I has delivered innovative solutions for storing products at ambient conditions with a focus on cost-effective quality, safety and on-time delivery.

CB&I has the in-house capabilities to take any project from the FEED stage through commissioning. Project delivery is expedited through our phased contracting approach and we draw on decades of experience in adjacent markets to ensure optimal results.

CB&I built the world’s first Hortonsphere pressure vessel in 1923 and remains the leader in providing reliable shop-built and field erected pressurized storage solutions. Spheres are the optimal shape to limit boil-off of gases, thereby reducing operating expenses (OPEX) for products that require refrigerated storage, including: propane, butane, pentane, propylene, ethylene, ethane, methane (LNG), liquified petroleum gas (LPG), carbon dioxide, vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), phosgene, water, liquid air and any product that requires pressurized storage.

We offer specialty plate structure solutions that range from one-of-a-kind, custom structures to more common structures meeting specific requirements. With extensive experience in plate storage construction, there’s no contractor more qualified to design specialty structures beyond traditional codes and standards. We combine our expertise in low temperature and cryogenic systems, nuclear design know-how and high-pressure vessel design to develop storage solutions for almost any type of steel plate structure.
