Trans-Asia’s Narmada Offshore Construction announced today that it has won a major pipeline services contract for onshore pipeline services and repairs.

"I am happy to announce that we have secured this prestigious contract and this further substantiates our customers’ faith in us when it comes to providing world-class services."

After a series of leaks in its existing pipeline network, Indian state-owned Gas Distribution Company decided to award Narmada major rehabilitation works on its existing network of pipelines consisting of more than 1,000km. In a fast-track and time-bound project, the work involves temporary decommissioning of existing pipelines, cleaning, testing works and fit-for-use re-certification, including dewatering, vacuum drying and nitrogen purging of the pipeline network. Trans-Asia is using its Kakinada base on the east coast of India for the project execution.

Trans-Asia chairman D. Anjaiah said: "I am happy to announce that we have secured this prestigious contract and this further substantiates our customers’ faith in us when it comes to providing world-class services. We are glad that we could mobilise our resources in a very short time and are proud to be associated with a project that is very crucial for the safe operation of the pipelines."
