The project, which is expected to be completed in 2018, will provide an additional 800 million cubic feet per day of gas for the capital city Bangkok, which lies 70 kilometres to the south. Samsung’s workscope includes gas turbine-driven compressor trains, inlet filter separators, ground flare and vent stack, together with utilities and the substation.

Samsung Engineering recently became the first engineering, procurement and construction contractor to join the International Gas Union.
