Roma West 2B Gathering Project

This particular section included gas and water gathering pipelines, along with the added complexity of installation of HV & FOC reticulation, often commingled within the trenches with the PE Gas & Water pipelines.

Pneumatic testing was progressively completed in five defined sections, allowing a sequenced handover of the asset to commence early gas extraction.

Completed on time and on budget, with zero defects, despite significant challenges of slow rock excavation and inclement weather.
