Mexican steelmaker Altos Hornos de Mexico (AHMSA) told SteelOrbis it will provide 73,000 mt of plates to a gas pipeline project located in the county of Webb, Texas.
As previously reported by SteelOrbis, the project is being developed by Howard Energy México, and is comprised of a combined 190 miles of minimum 30-inch pipeline, from which 17 miles are in Webb county, in Texas, and 171 in Mexico. Construction of the pipeline is scheduled to begin in mid-2016.
AHMSA said it will provide Tubacero, a Mexican steel pipe producer also involved in the project, X-70 grade steel plate from its Steckel rolling mill and tinplate produced at the steelmaker's hot rolling mill, the Mexican integrated steelmaker said.
