TDW Offshore Services completes pipeline isolation operation for OMV in Austria

Published Nov 21, 2008

November 21, 2008 – TDW Offshore Services AS announced that it has successfully completed an onshore pipeline isolation operation for OMV Gas GmbH. The operation was carried for OMV Gas GmbH in Austria in conjunction with the company’s Trans Austria Gas pipeline (TAG) expansion programme.

One of the key developments of the expansion programme is the newly constructed compressor station in Eggendorf, Austria. OMV Gas GmbH needed to safely re-route the existing pipelines to this new station. To achieve this, TDW was retained to carry out pipeline isolation services on the 38-inch import pipeline that stretches approximately 70km from Baumgarten to Eggendorf, and on the export pipeline that runs approximately 70km from Eggendorf to Grafendorf.
