Project Profile
Value: US$609 million
Location: Tennant Creek in the Territory to Mt Isa in Queensland
Length: 622km
Start-up Year: 2018
Jemena was selected by the Northern Territory Government to build and operate the North East Gas Interconnector, which will be known as the Northern Gas Pipeline (NGP). The 622km pipeline will link Tennant Creek in the Territory to Mt Isa in Queensland, driving commercial exploration and development of currently untapped gas reserves, unlocking the next phase of economic growth for the Territory and helping build a stronger Northern Australia; at a cost of around AU$800 million (US$609 million). Intertek will provide critical expertise at the point of fabrication, deploying a team of quality inspectors to oversee manufacture of the pipework including quality of welding, steel composition, compliance with Australian standards and adherence to engineering specifications.
