“Labour has grown as an inflationary concern for everyone in the industry. We need to actively forecast and manage labour availability and supply chain like never before,” Marsden said in an interview via e-mail last week. Bechtel is developing projects with some 27 MTPA of new capacity, including Sempra’s Port Arthur LNG project and an expansion at Cheniere Energy’s Corpus Christi plant, with an additional 29 MTPA waiting for formal approvals to move ahead.
