Raymond Joint Venture

To Build Terminal

For LNG Tankers

A joint venture sponsored by

Raymond International Inc., Hous- ton, Texas, was awarded a contract to construct marine facilities for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) re- ceiving terminal at Cove Point, Md.

The terminal will be jointly owned by subsidiaries of the Columbia

Gas System and the Consolidated

Natural Gas System, with Colum- bia building and operating the fa- cility.

The three partners in the con- struction joint venture are Ray- mond, Tidewater Construction

Corp. of Virginia Beach, Va., and

Peter Kiewit Sons' of Omaha, Neb.

This phase of the LNG complex consists of building an offshore fa- cility to simultaneously berth two tankers, and an underwater and on- shore tube-tunnel more than a mile long to house the pipelines needed to bring the liquefied natural gas ashore.

When completed, the terminal will have an unloading capacity of one billion standard cubic feet of

LNG per day.

Raymond Technical Facilities

Inc. of New York City, a wholly owned Raymond subsidiary, per- formed the engineering and design for the marine portion of the com- plex.

Construction is scheduled to be completed in two years.

The berthing portion of the LNG complex will stand in 40-foot-deep

Chesapeake Bay water on precast, prestressed concrete cylinder piles and steel pipe piles. Bayshore Con- crete Products Corp. of Cape

Charles, Va., owned by the three construction partners, will manu- facture the concrete piles for the project.

The joint venture group has in the past successfully completed such large construction projects as the 17.6-mile-long Chesapeake Bay

Bridge-Tunnel in 1963, and the 3.6- mile-long San Francisco Bay Area

Rapid Transit (BART) tunnel in 1969. It is presently building a sec- ond Hampton Roads tunnel linking

Hampton and Norfolk, Va., and a 3.9-mile bridge spanning the James

River between Newport News and

Isle of Wight County, Va.
