Pipe Racks and Equipment Platform Steel Structure for Ghana Natural Gas Pipeline Network
Our Ghanian Client Natural Gas Pipeline Network is a 320 km natural gas pipeline network in southwestern Ghana which interconnects Our Ghanian Client power generation plants to the Ghana National Gas Company’s Prestea Regulating and Metering Station (PRMS). The network is being rolled out over three phases with the 80 km Prestea Regulating and Metering Station (PRMS) segment currently operating.

The pipeline runs from the PRMS to the Tarkwa and Damang plants. The second phase is proposed to run from the PRMS to the Chirano plant and a proposed bauxite refinery in and around Nyinahin. A third phase will interconnect phase one and two to the Edikan and Wassa power plants.

Background
Our Ghanian Client has developed a 320 km natural gas pipeline network in southwestern Ghana to interconnect its power generation plants to the Ghana National Gas Company’s Prestea Regulating and Metering Station (PRMS). Construction of the pipeline network is is being rolled in three phases with the first phase currently active. In May 2019, it was reported that Our Ghanian Client commissioned an 80km natural gas pipeline that interconnects the PRMS to the Tarkwa and Damang plants. Construction of the 155km natural gas pipeline to interconnect the PRMS to the Chirano plant and a proposed bauxite refinery in and around Nyinahin has begun with plans to further construct an 85km natural gas pipeline which will interconnect the 80km and 155km natural gas pipelines to the Edikan and Wassa power plants[1]. The pipeline is connected to the Atuabo–Aboadz gas pipeline at Ghana National Gas Company’s Prestea Regulating and Metering Station (PRMS).
Expansion: Kumasi pipeline project
In July 2022, it was reported that Our Ghanian Client had secured $425 million to finance a 100km natural gas pipeline to Kumasi, Ghana’s second largest city, a 200mmscfd gas conditioning plant at Prestea and a Natural Gas Liquid storage terminal at Takoradi Port . Completion of the new pipeline was announced in June 2023. The new pipeline will ensure availability of cheaper and readily accessible piped natural gas in Kumasi and the central belt of Ghana and allow industries to switch from imported diesel and heavy fuel oil (HFO) to indigenous natural gas.
The construction of the natural gas pipeline to Kumasi and the gas processing plant in Prestea will have significant economic and environmental benefits not only for our client but also for Ghana and the West African sub-region. The project will support our client’s diversification from power to the gas midstream sector and mark a significant milestone in its decarbonization strategy to achieve net zero carbon by 2035 while contributing significantly to Ghana’s national climate change targets on emission reduction.
