Técnicas Reunidas, a Spanish-based engineering contractor, is cementing its footprint in North America, with an engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) assignment worth more than €200 million for Phase 2 of the Coastal GasLink pipeline awarded by LNG Canada, a joint venture featuring Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and KOGAS.
This four-year contract, which TR Canada E&C won for EPCM services related to Phase 2 of Coastal GasLink (CGL) in British Columbia on Canada’s west coast, deepens a partnership that began during the LNG Canada project's initial front-end engineering design (FEED) stages, marking another win for the Spanish engineering firm's North American growth strategy.
CGL Phase 2 will be delivered through an integrated execution model, with LNG Canada leading project construction as Phase 2 Execution Manager and TR Canada E&C providing the EPCM services, while CGL will remain the owner, operator, and permit holder of the pipeline and associated facilities.
The contract award comes only weeks after LNG Canada reached its Phase 2 final investment decision (FID) to advance the next stage of development of this British Columbia-based project of national significance.
The project includes the construction of five additional compressor stations, as well as modifications to both existing and planned facilities at various points along the pipeline route.
Técnicas Reunidas’ scope entails the detail engineering, procurement, and construction management services, with an expected execution period of over four years, representing a significant milestone in the strengthening of the firm’s services business.
The newly awarded contract with LNG Canada adds to the company’s extensive experience in midstream projects, which includes 30,000 kilometers of oil and gas pipelines and more than 35 large compression projects worldwide.
The award reinforces Técnicas Reunidas’ commitment to the North American market, a cornerstone of its current SALTA Strategic Plan. The firm has already identified a pipeline of potential projects worth €28 billion in the North American market.
A significant portion consists of around a dozen large-scale combined-cycle power plants, primarily aimed at meeting the high and growing energy needs resulting from the boom in large data centers being developed in the region.
