ENOC Group, through its subsidiary Horizon Terminals, has awarded the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract for a 16.2-kilometre jet fuel pipeline that links its storage terminals in Jebel Ali with Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) in Dubai South, to Dubai-based Albanna Engineering.
The construction of the pipeline is expected to be completed in 24 months and will be operational in the first quarter of 2020, in time for Expo 2020 Dubai. Upon completion, the pipeline will carry 2,000 cubic metres of jet fuel per hour to DWC, which is billed to be the world’s largest and will receive a significant share of international visitors to the Expo. DWC is expected to become the world’s largest airport with an annual capacity exceeding 220 million passengers and 16 million tonnes of cargo.
