Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia's hydrocarbon custodian Petronas has completed the roof air-raising for two liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanks at the LNG Regasification Terminal 2 (RGT2), marking another milestone at the Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC), Johor. RGT2 project director Md Shah Mahmood said the two steel dome structures were pneumatically thrust to a height of 53 metres, closing the most critical activity in the LNG tank construction towards reaching full completion as planned. He said both LNG tanks were 88 metres in diameter with roof structures reaching 11.73 metres high and weighing 1,040.1 tonnes, making them among the largest and heaviest in Southeast Asia.
