Now, the work on the Terminal Gas Sul, located on the coast of Santa Catarina (SC), is scheduled to go into the final onshore construction processes.
The company Tenenge announced this week that it has completed one of the welding processes for the Terminal Gas Sul (SC) work at Babitonga Bay, in Santa Catarina (SC). The extension, according to the institution, would be surpassing the 32 km mark and cuts through some municipalities, as in the case of Garuva, São Francisco do Sul and Itapoá. It is worth mentioning that, now, construction will continue with other onshore processes, such as hydrostatic tests and street cutting.
The welders responsible for connecting the gas pipeline sections worked with the previously dug trenches, which automated the process. Marco Aurélio Barros, engineer and contract director in charge, stated that the work had only 3,2% repairs, that is, the work was associated with the agility of the process without losing quality in delivery. According to Marcos, this specific data shows that the team is well trained and highly capable of working with constructions of great importance.
At a press conference for the Click Oil and Gas, the engineer claims that no employee was removed due to the accident at work. During all processes, they use the correct PPE, Personal Protective Equipment.
How is the work on the Terminal Gas Sul progressing?
The work on Terminal Gás Sul, also known as TSG, will proceed with its final activities aimed at the onshore sector, such as hydrostatic tests and the creation of passages over rivers and public roads. Each stage of this conclusion is extremely relevant because it will guarantee that no citizen will be subject to accidents.
Paulo Jorge Fernandes, engineer and Production Manager at TGS, says that the final processes are as relevant as the initial ones because it is through them that it is possible to guarantee the highest quality of delivery and customer satisfaction.
The project: learn more about its history
Terminal Gas Sul (TGS) is being developed to act as a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit. The function of this plant is to receive the entire production of liquefied natural gas and regasify more than 165 million tons of this product daily before being sent to Brazilian homes. Its modern system ensures that there is a constant flow of gasification and work 24 hours a day.
How does the Tenenge project work?
Although it seems like a complex process, it is simpler than it seems: according to Tenenge, the transfer of LNG gas from a ship to the pipelines takes place through a ship-to-ship configuration, that is, from ship to ship . The configuration follows all the national journeys planned by the Brazilian Navy and the Directorate of Ports and Coasts (DPC).
As soon as it is received, the LNG will be stored according to the demand to be demanded by the population. It is transported from its original state to Babitonga Bay, where it will cross the municipality of Itapoá and go to Garuva. After that, the gas will be stored in a pipeline belonging to Bolivia-Brazil (GASBOL).
The Gas Terminal of Santa Catarina (SC) is located in Baía Babitonga, at least 309 meters from the coast. The study that showed the viability of the point showed that it was the best place to settle. Babitonga Bay has sheltered waters that make the gas transport take place in less time and with greater productivity. Construction is also away from housing.
