Liquefied Natural Gas

How does Exponent's multidisciplinary approach provide you unparalleled support for LNG challenges?

The strong demand for natural gas has led to numerous technological developments in all segments of the natural gas industry including liquefaction, marine transportation, and regasification. Because liquefied natural gas is easier to transport and store, it is used in many industrial settings including liquefaction plants, ocean tankers, pipelines, onshore and offshore terminals, and regasification plants.

Exponent provides strategic guidance and tactical solutions assisting clients in process safety management, construction management, and wetland restoration planning. Using this experience, we routinely assist our clients in addressing performance-based design challenges and in providing technical support for regulatory applications.
