Bechtel to manage construction of 12 new gas pipelines in Thailand
Bechtel has been selected by Gulf MP Company of Thailand to manage construction of pipelines that will feed gas into a network of planned new power generation facilities.
Bechtel will manage engineering, procurement and construction for 12 new gas pipelines with receiving stations.
"Bechtel is looking forward to its continued contribution to Thailand's economy through employment of Thai colleagues and further development of the country's energy infrastructure," said Jack Futcher, president of Bechtel's Oil, Gas and Chemicals business unit in Houston.
"Our teams will work with Gulf MP Company to deliver pipelines needed to increase energy reliability in the country, building on Bechtel's extensive global expertise," he added.
The contract was awarded as part of Thailand's Small Power Producer program in an effort to diversify the country's energy mix and to support industrial energy needs.
The 12 new combined-cycle plants will each provide 120-130 MW of electric power to industrial users and to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand. They will also provide steam to local industrial users.
The pipelines will vary in size between 8 in. and 16 in. and in length between 1 km and 11 km.
