Description
Technical and administrative project for a 120,000-litre liquid nitrogen cryogenic vessel installed in Tenerife. The scope combined civil works documentation (foundations, retention area, technical pavements and anchorings), site direction during construction and the full legalisation pathway before the Canary Islands industrial authority. Cryogenic constraints — material compatibility, safety distances, venting and pressure-equipment regulations — were embedded in the documentation. Working in an insular context added logistics and supply-chain considerations to the technical brief, all of which were resolved through close coordination with local contractors and the gas operator. The project illustrates the practice's capacity to deliver full-cycle industrial-gas installations across Spain, including its archipelagos, under strict regulatory frameworks.
