#DenysEnergies • At various locations along the Porthos route, we are working hard as the main contractor to construct the onshore pipeline network. The pipes are welded and specially coated in welding tents on site. By working in welding tents, the work can take place safely and continue regardless of weather conditions. Some facts & figures regarding the pipes: The pipeline network covers 52 kilometers, including 30km on land and 22km at sea. The pipes for the onshore pipeline are 18 meters each and, with a diameter of 105 cm, they weigh about 500 kg per linear meters. The offshore pipes are 12.2 meters long each and have a diameter of 40 cm. The offshore pipeline also has a plastic insulation coating to keep heat in the pipe and a concrete weight coating for the purpose of stability in the seabed. The part of the offshore pipeline from the seawall to just beyond the Maasgeul has a greater wall thickness and a heavier concrete coating than the rest of the pipeline. The first section of the pipeline therefore weighs 535 kg per meters, while the rest weighs 'only' 390 kg per running meters. With a few exceptions, all pipes are underground. Where the pipeline crosses a canal or the seawall, they are 40 to 50 metres below sea level. Porthos is a joint venture between EBN, Gasunie and the Port of Rotterdam: EBN B.V., Gasunie and Port of Rotterdam.
