The Challenge

The construction and commissioning of an intercontinental gas pipeline

This $45b investment is one of the largest projects of this type ever undertaken.

The pipeline runs across two continents spanning a total of six countries. The pipeline, once complete, will deliver an alternative source of energy to millions of people. However, the distances, environmental conditions and remote nature of the route provided numerous challenges.

Power shortages and failures were not an option for the team involved as strict financial constraints and ambitious delivery timelines were of paramount importance. They required mobile and modular power solutions for camps, construction, pipe welding, commissioning and testing, so they turned to Aggreko.
