Liberty Pipes Hartlepool has started production for a major UK energy infrastructure contract it secured in 2024, Kallanish learns.
The project will see the company supply pipelines for a key new UK energy infrastructure project led by the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) and Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power).
The contract comprises 105km of offshore pipeline infrastructure, which will be used to transport CO2 to the Endurance carbon capture storage facility in the North Sea below the seabed.
Liberty will utilise Greentec steel plate sourced from Voestalpine, Austria.
Manufacturing of the carbon steel line pipe will continue until the third quarter, the company says.
The contract is one of eight engineering, procurement and construction packages awarded by NEP/NZT Power with a combined value of around £4 billion ($5.17 billion).
Liberty Steel chief transformation officer Jeff Kabel says: “Following months of meticulous planning, mill preparation, recruitment, and training, Liberty Pipes Hartlepool is proud to announce the start of manufacturing for the NEP and NZT Power projects.”
“It is flagship project and hopefully one of many similar projects in the UK, and internationally, that the business hopes to be involved in. Liberty Pipes Hartlepool has an extensive track record in the North Sea and now, in line with our long-term strategy, we are pleased to extend our involvement in support of new Energy Transition infrastructure,” he adds.
