Turkish pipe producer Borusan Mannesmann has announced that it will supply 12-24.5 meter pipes with 36 inch diameter for the Tuxpan-Tula gas line project in Mexico. The pipes will be produced in its spirally welded pipe plant located in the northwestern Turkish city of Gemlik between June and August this year and will be shipped to Tuxpan port in Mexico starting in July.
The pipe producer said that, with this tender worth $33 million, Mexico will receive 24.5 meter pipes from an overseas supplier for the first time.
The gas pipeline scheduled to be completed in 2017 will transfer gas to power plants located in Veracurz, Puebla and Hidalgo.
