PIPELINE UPDATE Good progress
With all pipe in country
and transported to infield
locations, work on the
540km pipeline network has
continued to gain momentum.
On the 197km Gas Collection
Header, all of the pipe is now
strung out along the Right of
Way and the work continues
to advance on welding the
sections of pipe together. To
date over 90 per cent of the
required welding has been
achieved, with rigorous testing
procedures being undertaken
to ensure the integrity and
safety of the finished product

and compliance with all
regulatory requirements prior
to burial.
On the 334km Export Pipeline
several work fronts have
progressed with activities
such as Right of Way clearing
and grading, pipe stringing
and bending, and welding,
as well as work on some
of the road crossings. At a
location approximately 40
kilometres north of Miles,
construction has started on
the Gas Collection Header
Receipt Station. Once built,
the Receipt Station will consist
The Narrows Crossing Temporary Access way, construction of the Humpy Creek bridge complete
of monitoring, control and
maintenance equipment for
the gas pipeline. The Receipt
Station will gather the gas
from the Collection Header and
prepare it for transport along
the Export Pipeline ultimately
arriving for processing at the
Delivery Station on Curtis
Island prior to entering
the LNG Plant.
At the Narrows Crossing
where the pipeline crosses
from the mainland to Curtis
Island, construction of the
second temporary access
bridge, over Targinie Creek,
Lowering-in of the Gas Collection Header pipe
is underway. This follows the
completion last month of the
shorter Humpy Creek Bridge
and the temporary access
way between the bridges.
The installation of piling has
commenced on what will
be the longer of the two
bridges at some 300 metres
in total length.
The first clearing works have
also commenced at the site
on Curtis Island where the
pipeline will come onshore in
the first half of next year and
on the right of way connecting
to the LNG Plant.
