Corinth Pipeworks was awarded a contract, by Snam to manufacture and supply approximately 13 km of
longitudinally submerged arc-welded steel pipes (LSAW) for the development of an offshore and onshore
natural gas pipeline for the Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU). The contract is valued at
over EUR 10 million.
The greenfield FSRU based LNG terminal
project in the port of Ravenna is a strategic
project to help ensuring Italy’s energy
needs, increasing security of supply and
diversification. Furthermore, the project
will provide critical infrastructure, with a
capacity of 170,000 cubic meters and a
nominal throughput of 5 billion cubic
meters of natural gas per year.
The 26-inch, pipeline, will be certified to
transport up to 100% hydrogen. Corinth
Pipeworks is utilizing cutting-edge
technology and infrastructure, providing
solutions for hydrogen certification of new
pipelines. As such steel pipes produced
today and installed in the current gas
network shall cover the energy mix of
tomorrow.
Steel pipes will be manufactured at Corinth
Pipeworks’ facilities and will include
internal and three-layer polypropylene,
external coating, as well as concrete
weight coating (CWC), applied at the same
location as pipe manufacturing at Thisvi,
Greece.
This award to Corinth Pipeworks is the latest from Snam, with the assistance of its Italian business
partner PIPEX, and builds on the company's successful long-term relationship and a succession of earlier
pipeline developments.
