CB&I, originally known as Chicago Bridge & Iron Co, is a global EPC firm that specializes in storage solutions for infrastructure and industrial projects. CB&I was founded in 1889 and is headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas. Initially known for its expertise in bridge construction, CB&I evolved over the years to focus on large-scale steel tank fabrication. According to one of the founder's heirs about present-day CB&I, "The old joke is that Chicago Bridge & Iron isn't in Chicago, doesn't build bridges and doesn't use iron."

The company designs, fabricates and installs storage tanks and terminals, pressure vessels, special plate structures, and complete storage process facilities. CB&I also integrates process equipment, piping systems, instrumentation, and control systems for storage operations. The company operates globally with facilities across North America, the Middle East, and Asia.
