Gas pipeline project, Trans Thailand Malaysia

The Trans Thailand Malaysia Gas Pipeline Project comprised the installation of a 34 inch concrete coated gas pipeline, running from the joint Thai-Malaysia development area approximately 270 kilometers offshore towards the southern Thai coast near Chana. As part of this project a contract was awarded to the Boskalis Offshore B.V. - Tideway B.V. consortium for the provision of the dredging and backfilling works, whereas Boskalis Offshore provided the main equipment and project support.

Boskalis Offshore’s scope of work comprised the burial of the near shore section of the offshore gas pipeline. All works have been executed in compliance with requirements of OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001. Most demanding issue for the works was to manage the suspended solids concentration.
