This contract comes as LNG Canada recently announced its final investment decision (FID) to advance the next phase of this important national project. The project includes the construction of five additional compressor stations and modifications to existing and planned facilities along various points of the pipeline route.
Implications and Future Outlook
Técnicas Reunidas' scope of services includes detailed engineering, procurement, and construction management, and the project is expected to be executed over more than four years. This contract represents a significant milestone in strengthening the service business of the company and adds to its extensive experience in midstream projects, which includes 30,000 kilometers of oil and gas pipelines and over 35 major compressor projects globally.
This contract clearly reinforces Técnicas Reunidas' commitment to the North American market, which is considered one of the pillars of the company's strategic SALTA program. The company has currently identified approximately €28 billion in potential projects in the North American market, a significant portion of which includes nearly a dozen large combined cycle power plants, primarily designed to meet the high energy demands arising from the development of large data centers in the region.
