A new 705 km, 600 nominal bore multi‑product pipeline is to be built to transport refined products from Durban to Johannesburg, to provide the capacity necessary to meet demand.
The new pipeline will include three pump stations and storage terminals in Durban and Johannesburg. The facility requires to be operational in 2010 to meet Johannesburg’s increased fuel demand.
Transnet engaged WorleyParsons, in joint venture with Arup SA, to finalize the FEED and provide engineering, procurement and construction management services for the pipeline and the associated pumping and storage facilities. In addition, the project team will assist Transnet to obtain environmental and other statutory approvals and secure the land tenure for the pipeline route. The completed pipeline system will be commissioned by the project team.
The delivery of this high profile pipeline project for Transnet, a major South African pipeline operator, is a critical aspect of its network expansion and the growth of WorleyParsons in South Africa. Our experience on other major projects is providing Transnet with the confidence that we can truly deliver the project using our full global capability.
