QCLNG Pipeline Fibre Optic Infrastructure Contract Awarded to Madison Technologies
24 August, 2011
Madison Technologies has been awarded the
fibre optic data network provision contract for the pipeline infrastructure on
the Queensland Gas LNG (QGCLNG) by the MC QGC JV.
Madison Technologies has been commissioned
to provide the backbone fibre for communications infrastructure and associated
passive equipment, which will run the length of the main gas distribution
pipeline from central Queensland to the coast of Gladstone for QGCLNG. The fibre optic cable is designed to meet the
particular specifications of the project and is built to cope with the heavy
expansive soils and environmental conditions found in Northern Queensland.
The Australian manufactured specified fibre
optic cable will be installed in conjunction with the gas pipeline. Madison Technologies was also appointed to
provide 3M searchable markers for cable detection, circular electronic markers
for pit detection and a range of 3M fibre enclosures. “
These pipelines will carry CSG from gas
fields in central Queensland to an export facility on Curtis Island. Construction is scheduled for completion in
late 2012. The first delivery of LNG
from the plant is scheduled for 2014.
