Yokogawa Corporation of America has been selected as Main Automation Contractor (MAC) for the Commonwealth LNG project in Louisiana, US, strengthening its role in one of the country’s major LNG developments.

The contract was awarded by Technip Energies, the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the project.

Yokogawa will provide engineering and design services, an integrated control and safety system, system integration, and project execution support.
