Technip wins the
prestigious 2010 Global Pipeline Award
27.10.2010 + + + Technip has been awarded the 2010 Global Pipeline Award
in the field of Pipeline Transportation during the International Pipeline
Conference in Calgary, Canada, for its Subsea Cryogenic Pipe-in-Pipe
Pipeline Transfer System (C-PiP).
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers International (ASME) Global
Pipeline Award was presented to Technip by members of the Pipeline Systems
Division, a division of the International Petroleum Technology Institute (IPTI).
This prestigious award acknowledges outstanding innovations and major
technological advances in the field of pipeline transportation.
Technip began development of the C-PiP Pipeline Technology in 2004, earned
proof-of-concept certification by ABS and BV in 2006, and
fitness-for-service certification from DNV in 2008. Technip is currently
designing or has assessed the potential for C-PiP Pipeline applications in
several projects.
The award application featured the design for the Hess LNG Weaver’s Cove
Energy project in Fall River, Massachusetts. Technip’s C-PiP technology
was selected for this liquefied natural gas import terminal project based
on its superior safety and reliability features. The C-PiP LNG transfer
system was engineered to address the specific challenges of this
project’s location and is currently proposed for the 4.25-mile (6.8 km)
long offshore berth.
Technip’s innovative technology is an effective next step in global
development of safe and reliable LNG pipeline transportation from both far
inland onshore plants and far offshore loading/unloading locations. It
will also enhance contribution to the efficiency, operability, versatility
and integrity of worldwide pipeline transportation systems.
