Taweelah-Fujairah gas pipeline
In July 2008 Stroytransgaz signed a contract for construction of the Taweelah-Fujairah gas pipeline in the United Arab Emirates. This is the first large-scale project in the fuel and energy complex of the United Arab Emirates in which a Russian construction company has taken part.
Dolphin Energy Ltd. owned by the government of the UAE is customer for the project.
The gas pipeline, 240 kilometers in length and 48 inches in diameter, will traverse the entire territory of the United Arab Emirates and link the receiving terminal in Taweelah (Abu Dhabi Emirate) on the Persian Gulf coast with treatment facilities in Fujairah (Fujairah Emirate) on the coast of the Gulf of Oman.
In accordance with provisions of the contract, Stroytransgaz will carry out construction on EPC terms. The project provides for building the linear part of the pipeline, including two scraper launcher-receiver units, nine line valve units, a gas metering station as well as installing a SCADA system, a system for detecting gas leaks and ensuring fire safety, electrochemical erosion protection, self-regulating and control instrumentation, and telecommunications equipment.
