The scope of these projects will entail the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a pipeline network totaling 1,118 kilometers in length. These vital pipelines will significantly expand Saudi Aramco's capabilities for delivering sales gas to power plants and petrochemical facilities throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The scope also includes EPC work for Valve Stations, Metering Systems, Launcher and Receiver Stations, Fiber Optic Cables, as well as road and rail crossings.
