Reliance Ports & Terminals Limited adwarded a contract to the Leighton International* - Valentine Maritime Limited Consortium for the design and construction of new marine terminal facilities near Jamnagar, India.
The Consortium was responsible for the installation of six subsea pipelines, three single point mooring systems at the offshore end of each line, and two riser platforms at the nearshore end of each line. The facilities are part of the Jamnagar Export Refinery Project in the Gulf of Kutch on India's north-west coast.
Each pipeline is approximately 20km long, with a diameter of either 48 or 30 inches. The pipelines are used to import crude oil to the new 30 million tonnes per annum refinery, and then export refined products.
*As of 30 June 2011 Leighton International’s activities were transferred to other Group companies. Leighton International project descriptions have been retained for historical purposes.
