Allseas announces it has completed a 700 km 36 in. pipeline for the Southeast Gateway pipelines project in southeast Mexico for client TC Energy.
Allseas pipeline vessels, onshore and offshore teams delivered the pipeline in 11 months including nearshore scope and pre-commissioning. Solitaire laid most of the pipeline, with Lorelay and Tog Mor providing support. Pioneering Spirit installed the nearshore section at Coatzacoalcos, without a stinger. Instead, the hanging stinger transition frame served as a ‘mini’ stinger, a solution tailored to the shallow water depth.
Project Manager Johan Paauwe said: “Thanks to the great collaboration between the Allseas and TC Energy teams, we successfully navigated this dynamic project. The trust placed in us by our client fuelled our drive to deliver this ambitious pipeline, and once again demonstrate Allseas’ leadership in delivering complex, large-scale infrastructure projects efficiently, on time, and on budget.”
“The Southeast Gateway Pipeline Project, with much credit due to the performance of the collective Allseas/TC Energy team, is a classic example of how large scale offshore pipelay ventures are delivered safely, environmentally compliant, and on plan”, said Mike Bagale, TC Energy’s Vice President of Mexico Projects.
