With construction scheduled to commence in 2017, and commissioning expected in 2018, McConnell Dowell is leading the charge, having been awarded the construction contract in November 2015.
The construction scope for the contract includes the 623 km high pressure gas pipeline, connecting Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory to Mt Isa in Queensland, along with two compressor stations and gas treatment facilities.
The value of this construction work is expected to exceed AU$300 million.
GPA Engineering secured the design contract for the pipeline last year, while MRC Global was recently awarded the contract to supply 636 km of X70 grade high-pressure coated pipe and induction bends.
Delivery of pipe is expected to commence in late 2016, with construction work scheduled to be completed by 2018.
Additional contracts have also been awarded to KBR (facility design), EcOz (environmental consultation), Circle Advisory (indigenous and local business participation consultation) and Maloney Field Services (lands consultation).
Meanwhile, Jemena continues to seek expressions of interest for any opportunities that may arise for the pipeline, with a list of opportunities to be published on the project’s Industry Capability Network gateway page early in 2016.
Jemena encourages potential suppliers to register with ICN and to regularly check back to the ICN Gateway page for updated project information.
