Austrian steelmaker voestalpine AG has announced that it has signed a contract to supply premium pipeline plates for the natural gas project in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. According to the contract, one of the company’s steel divisions, voestalpine Grobblech GmbH will deliver 95,000 mt of premium pipeline plates from its plant in Linz, Austria to its long-term partner, Indian tube manufacturer Jindal SAW. The delivery period for the contract runs from October 2015 to March 2016.

Over the next two years Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, is constructing a 114 km high-pressure pipeline to supply natural gas extracted in the Arabian Gulf to the city, in order to meet its 15 percent annual growth in demand for natural gas. Construction is scheduled for completion in 2017, enabling an additional eleven million cubic meters of natural gas to be produced and piped daily.
