Canada’s Shawcor received a conditional contract worth approximately US$231 million (C$ 300 million) from Infraestructura Marina del Golfo (IMG), to provide pipeline coating solutions to the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) Sur de Texas – Tuxpan gas pipeline project.
The Tuxpan Gas Pipeline project will transport natural gas along an underwater route in the Gulf of Mexico, from the South of Texas, to Tuxpan, Veracruz in Mexico. It will supply natural gas to the CFE’s power generation plants in multiple regions of the country. IMG is a Mexican company majority-owned by TransCanada Corp. and partially owned by IEnova.
Shawcor will provide coating approximately 690km of 42in pipe with the application of concrete weight coating in a variety of thicknesses (2.25in, 2.752in and 3.5in) and supply the installation of 5000 sacrificial anodes. Coating is expected to commence in the beginning of 2017 and complete by the end of 2017.
TransCanada’s joint venture with Sempra Energy subsidiary, IEnova, won a contract in June to build, own, and operate the$2.1 billion Sur de Texas-Tuxpan natural gas pipeline.
The project will be supported by a 25-year natural gas transportation service contract for 2.6 Bcf/d with CFE, Mexico's state-owned power company.
