Matrix Service Company a leading contractor serving the energy and industrial markets across North America, has mobilised to site and commenced civil construction on a new liquefied natural gas storage facility. The facility will provide back-up fuel for Dominion Energy’s Greensville County and Brunswick County Power Stations, marking a critical milestone in the project’s development following the completion of engineering and procurement phases.
Once operational, the facility will feature an LNG production capacity of 180,000 gallons per day (equivalent to 15 million standard cubic feet per day), employing an amine pretreatment system and a nitrogen-cycle refrigeration system. It will also include a full containment LNG storage tank with a usable storage capacity of 25 million gallons, vaporisation capacity of 500 million standard cubic feet per day, and various common support facilities.
John R. Hewitt, president and CEO of Matrix Service Company, commented on the significance of the project:
“We are very pleased to have been selected by our long-standing client, Dominion Energy, as the EPC contractor on this important project, which helps improve quality of life for people in the region by assuring a supply of low carbon energy to fuel growing demand for electricity. Dominion has selected Matrix for four LNG projects since 2017.
This project complements our gas value chain strategy to combine our specialty vessel expertise with our core competency in balance of plant design and construction. We look forward to safely completing this facility with high quality, on-time, and on-budget.”
The project, awarded in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, is part of Matrix’s Storage and Terminal Solutions segment backlog. It is expected to be fully completed in the first quarter of calendar 2028, reinforcing Matrix’s position as a trusted partner in delivering complex energy infrastructure solutions.
