Besix, the largest Belgian construction company operating in the Middle East, said it has completed the design and construction of the Bahrain LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Import Terminal, located offshore Muharraq Island in Bahrain.

The LNG Import Terminal forms a vital part of Bahrain’s energy infrastructure as it provides the kingdom with a secure supply of liquified natural gas to meet the growth in demand for natural gas in order to fuel large industrial projects, to generate power and water, and for enhanced oil recovery, said a statement from Besix.

The scope of work included the design and construction of an LNG jetty constructed on drilled and grouted pin piles with a maximum length of 55 m, located approximately 5 km offshore and with a seabed level at -18 m, it stated.

The project also included a 600-m-long rubble mound offshore breakwater with concrete armour units.
