Between 2014 and 2019, a joint venture of ENKA and Bechtel worked on the South Caucasus Pipeline Expansion (SCPX) Project, which was designed to increase the volume of gas flowing from the Shah Deniz field in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea to Georgia and Türkiye.
The project, including the construction of two compressor stations, a pressure reduction and metering station, and associated access roads, required over 24 million person-hours of work.
Thanks to management commitment and the full engagement of the highly-multinational project team, the project achieved 15.6 million person-hours without lost time incident, notwithstanding the hazards inherent in working close to a brownfield site on an operating gas pipeline.
The project was selected as Engineering News-Record (ENR) Global Best Project 2018 in the Power / Industrial Category and awarded with the Merit prize by British Safety Council in “International Safety Awards 2018”.
