Nord Stream 2 AG and Kvaerner have signed a contract, worth above NOK 600 million, for delivery of onshore facilities for the Russian gas export pipeline.

The Nord Stream 2 pipeline across the Baltic Sea will provide reliable gas supplies to the European market.

Kvaerner will aid the construction of parts of the onshore facilities at the pipeline’s export landfall facilities in the St. Petersburg region.

The work will include procurement and project management for civil, mechanical and piping works in addition to installation of onshore pipelines and service buildings at the facilities.

The scope of Kvaerner’s contract consists mainly of civil works and foundations, procurement and installation of piping and valves for the pipe cleaning pig launch and receiver unit.

It also includes installation of the approximately two kilometer long adjacent pipeline onshore, as well as construction of permanent buildings for operation of the gas export plant.

“We are excited to be selected for this important new project. We have extensive experience from both delivery of onshore plants and from solid track record on execution of projects in Russia,” said Hans Petter Mølmen, executive vice president for Concrete & New Solutions in Kvaerner.

Kvaerner’s execution of the Russian export landfall facilities will take place in cooperation with local subcontractors and international suppliers.
