Dominion filed a report with the United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on the construction progress of its Cove Point liquefaction project for the month of August.
Dominion revealed in its filing that the engineering component of the project is 94% complete while procurement and construction are 78% and 10% done, respectively.
During the review period, civil construction continued at offsite area A for grubbing, erosion and sediment control maintenance, mass excavation, installing of stone base, fine grading, and storm water management installation.
