Shawcor pipe coating project bids

Shawcor Ltd. is providing an update on two large pipe coating projects that it has recently bid.

The company has announced that it has been awarded a conditional contract with a value in excess of CAN$300 million from Infraestructura Marina del Golfo (IMG), a Mexican company majority-owned by TransCanada Corporation and partially owned by IEnova, for pipeline coating for the CFE Sur de Texas-Tuxpan gas pipeline project, a 690 km offshore pipeline that will run from the US/Mexico international border near Brownsville, Texas to a location near Tuxpan, Mexico.

The contract is expected to be finalised shortly and is scheduled to be executed from two coating plants in Altamira, Mexico and involves the application of concrete weight coating. Coating is expected to commence in early 2017 with completion expected by the end of 2017.

Shawcor is also announcing today that it does not expect to participate in the pipe coating for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project.
