UAE’s NMDC Energy, formerly known as National Petroleum Construction Company, has secured a USD 1.136bn engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract with a Taiwanese company for the installation of subsea gas pipelines, among other things, for the renewal of a power plant in Taiwan.
Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) has appointed NMDC Energy to install subsea gas pipelines, as well as onshore engineering, construction, and dredging works for the second renewal project of the Tung-Hsiao Power Plant in Taiwan.
The Abu Dhabi-headquartered firm is responsible for the design, construction, and installation of marine pipelines at depths ranging from 10 to 55 meters, extending between Taichung and Tung-Hsiao on Taiwan’s west coast.
This includes the execution of works to connect the pipeline between the shore and the offshore area, over a distance of approximately 1,000 meters between the offshore section and the landfall and dredging operations of approximately 6 million cubic meters.
The work will be carried out in partnership with NMDC Dredging & Marine.
