Tecnimont (MAIRE Group) has entrusted Tenaris with the supply of more than 24,500 tons of seamless pipes for a major gas project located in North Africa
Pipes will be delivered along with Tenaris’ One Line services, a project management package which integrates the supply of pipe with additional services optimising efficiencies across the supply chain. The project includes a three-layer polyethylene (3LPE) coating applied to the entire order at the Tenaris’ coating facilities in Italy. First deliveries are scheduled for 2025.
Uninterrupted supply of natural gas
“This project holds strategic relevance in ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted supply of natural gas to Italy and, subsequently, to Europe, as a whole. For such an important project, which recognises the Italian value chain, we’ve selected the solid capabilities of a leading manufacturer such as Tenaris, that can guarantee high-quality products and services and fast-track supply from its Italian operational sites. We have a history of efficient collaboration with Tenaris, marked by professionalism and reliability. Therefore, partnering with Tenaris for this project was a natural choice for us,” said vice president of group procurement at MAIRE Group, Giovanni Sola.
“This agreement marks a milestone in our relationship with Tecnimont achieved thanks to strong teamwork. Tenaris' reliability and efficiency from an early stage created the conditions to secure this supply after the agreement closure. Our unique solutions that integrate pipes and coating allowed us to grant the security of supply and fast track deliveries needed for such a complex project," said commercial senior director for downstream at Tenaris, Simone Baietta.
