Transportadora de Gas Natural de la Huasteca S de RL de CV (TGNH), the Mexican subsidiary of TC Energy Corp., awarded Shawcor Ltd. a contract to supply pipe coating services for the Southeast Gateway natural gas pipeline project offshore southeast Mexico.

Shawcor will apply concrete weight coating to 706 km of 36-in. OD pipe that will connect TGNH pipeline in Tuxpan, Veracruz, with Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, and Dos Bocas, Tabasco. Coating is expected to begin early 2023 at a plant in Altamira, Mexico, and take 1 year.

The contract is valued at C$500 million.

TC Energy last week took final investment decision on Southeast Gateway and expects to put the pipeline in service by mid-2025 (OGJ Online, Aug. 8, 2022).
