Background
Running for approximately 440km, the Tanami Gas Pipeline (TGP) pipeline transports up to 13TJ of natural gas per day to the gas-fired power stations at Granites and Dead Bullock Soak, which power the Tanami gold mine in the remote Tanami desert.
The Project
APTS had been contracted by MPC Kinetic to undertake the Hydro-Static Testing on the Mainline, Lateral, and HDD sections for the construction of the Tanami Gas Pipeline (TGP).
The 8” pipeline had a total of 7 Test Sections ranging from 74km to 41km in length, along with 1 Lateral pipeline at 850m.
APTS ran 2 separate work crews who worked independently from each other, starting at each end of the pipeline, moving towards the middle.

The Result
After commissioning, practical completion was achieved on the Tanami Gas Pipeline in February 2019, with Newmont’s power stations currently taking gas.
