Construction engineering company, Mecwide, has completed construction of a gas reception and distribution unit for the Falcão 2 Project in Zaire Province, Angola. With a price-tag of $46 million, the unit will handle approximately 50 million cubic feet of gas per day.
Announced on 23 January, the gas reception and distribution unit serves as Mecwide’s largest project in Angola.
Development activities for the project included detailed engineering, procurement of piping and equipment, pre-fabrication and assembly, and technical building construction.
In addition to the gas reception unit, Mecwide has been responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction of a 9km pipeline for the Falcão Phase 2 Project, which was launched in December 2023.
The project is poised to enhance gas delivery from the Angola Liquefied Natural Gas plant to the existing Soyo 1 combined-cycle power plant.
