Comet Ridge Pipeline

Santos required a pipeline to be constructed to transport coal seam methane gas from the Fairview/Comet Ridge field to the gas hub at Wallumbilla on the Roma to Brisbane Trunk line.

The pipeline was 127km long and consisted of 16" diameter X70 steel pipe. The scope included: early contractor involvement in the design, transport of pipes from Wollongong, traditional welded steel pipeline construction, concurrent fibre optic cable installation, hydrotesting and commissioning.

This pipeline project included construction of end facilities at Fairview and Wallumbilla and mainline valves in route. The pipeline scaled major escarpments and included crossings of rail and highways plus the installation of gates in 1500 fences.
