US-based Chicago Bridge and Iron Co (CB&I) has won a Dh477 million ($130 million) contract to design and build liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tanks for a natural gas processing expansion project in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi.

CB&I said its contract is with Italy's Snamprogetti, which is the prime engineering, procurement and construction contractor for the owner, Abu Dhabi Gas Industries (Gasco), as part of its ongoing expansion.

Gasco is expanding its existing facility at Ruwais that processes associated and non-associated gas from onshore oil production into marketable natural gas liquids for export.

CB&I will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction of four 83,600-cubic-metre nominal capacity, concrete full-containment LPG tanks.
