Shawcor Ltd.’s pipe coating group received a conditional contract worth about CA$300 million from Infraestructura Marina del Golfo (IMG) to provide pipeline coating solutions to Mexico’s Comision 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 South Texas to Tuxpan, Veracruz, Mexico, supplying CFE’s power generation plants throughout Mexico.
IMG is a Mexican company majority owned by TransCanada Corp. and partially owned by IEnova.
Beginning in 2017, about 690 kilometers of 42-inch pipe will be coated with concrete weight coating; also, 5,000 sacrificial anodes will be supplied. The coating process should be completed by the end of 2017, Shawcor said.
The company will execute the work at Shawcor’s new coating facility in Altamira, Tampico, Mexico, which serves offshore projects in the Western Hemisphere.
