CONCRETE VESSEL IS STAR OF FIRST TOTALLY OFFSHORE LPG FACILITY

The facility is being built entirely offshore, including a big oil storage barge of steel and an LPG storage barge of prestressed concrete. This material was chosen for reasons of cost and speed of delivery. The hull was made of precast pieces which were epoxy-bonded to their neighbors, then post-tensioned together in three directions to prevent cracking. Specified concrete strength was 6,000 psi, but 9,000-10,500 psi concrete was produced.
