CO did the design, supply and installation and flushing of the piping. The piping was pre-fabricated at Tube-Mac Piping Technologies, Canada (TMI) and shipped to the site for assembly. TMI Flange connections namely Retain Ring Flange and Flare Flange Systems were used to join the connections in the project.
