Cashman Preload Cryogenics (CPC), an affiliate company of Jay Cashman, recently secured a contract from Delaware River Partners for the engineering, procurement, and construction of a 100,000-cubic-meter, full–containment, liquefied petroleum gas and ammonia storage tank in Gibbstown, N.J.
Work on the tank started in October and is expected to be completed in 2026.
The state-of-the art, 26-million-gallon LPG/NH3 storage tank will have an outer precast, prestressed concrete wall with an inner carbon steel shell and carbon steel dome, the company reported. The tank, which is 260 ft. in diameter and 135 ft. tall, will be built on a concrete mat foundation supported on 1300 piles. The tank will be designed to contain liquefied propane or ammonia at temperatures as low as minus-60 degrees Fahrenheit, providing the owner operational flexibility to store various products in the tank over time.
“This is the third full-containment tank project awarded to CPC in the past two years and represents one of the largest tanks built in recent years,” Eric Reaman, CPC president, said in a news release. “CPC’s prestressed concrete tank design allowed our client to promote its commitment to operational safety with a full-containment storage solution, and maintain schedule and quality, while ensuring that budget requirements were met.”
