Natural Gas Pipeline Osamu Tsujimura, Hideaki Sugai, Hidehiko Koizumi |
| Synopsis: The Niigata-Sendai Gas Pipeline Project was successfully completed in 1996. This is the second longest gas pipeline that crosses the Japan Islands with a diameter of 20 inches and a length of 251 km. Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd. transports natural gas, which is domestically produced at offshore fields near Niigata pref. or imported as LNG from Indonesia to the Shin-Sendai Thermal Power Plant of Tohoku Electric Power Co. Inc., through this pipeline. Kawasaki Steel had been engaged in this project from the preliminary investigation and planning phase for realization of the project and contributed to the construction of 97 km, 39% of the total length. Kawasaki Steel introduced various advanced technologies to the construction for securing safety and efficiency. This report refers to the outline of the project and some typical advanced technologies. |
