Mark Trueman, Worley Group president of major projects and programs, says, “Our engagement with this project, one of the most significant energy infrastructure opportunities anywhere in the world, dates back more than a decade. We are honored to be working with Glenfarne to help deliver the Alaska LNG project and improve energy security within Alaska and across the Pacific.”
Glenfarne also announced conditional awards for pipeline construction and materials supply following a multi-round bid process that began with twenty participants.
Among the participants is a joint venture among veteran North Slope heavy contractor Cruz Construction, Fairbanks-based regional Alaska Native corporation Doyon, Limited through its Doyon Energy Services subsidiary, and Texas-based Associated Pipe Line.
Other conditional awards go to Wisconsin-based Precision Pipeline, a subsidiary of MasTec, one of the leading pipeline contractors in North America, and to Price Gregory International, a subsidiary of Quanta Services with a long history in Alaska pipeline construction.
ASRC Energy Services subsidiary Houston Contracting Company is conditionally awarded a joint bid with Wisconsin-based Michels Pipeline. Other joint ventures lined up for the job: U.S. Pipeline and Spiecapag, a subsidiary of VINCI Construction, and a team-up of Montana-based Barnard Pipeline and Italian contractor SICIM.
“These world-class pipeline construction partners were selected based on their qualifications and experience to build the Alaska LNG pipeline, one of the most important pieces of energy infrastructure in the world,” says Duval. “Each has dedicated a significant amount of time and resources in estimating and bidding for these roles, and their early involvement is foundational for this pipeline.”
The conditional awards include comprehensive pricing and technical specifications and reflect specific roles in the multi-spread construction strategy for the Phase One in-state pipeline and a 63-mile, 32-inch lateral pipeline eastward to Point Thomson. Awards remain subject to the completion of definitive construction agreements.
Glenfarne adds that it is continuing to identify opportunities to engage Alaska contractors and businesses in project development and construction.
