Isle of Grain-Shorne Gas pipeline project

National Grid is constructing a gas pipeline from the Isle of Grain to Shorne to ensure that natural gas can be transported from the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) importation terminal at Grain in sufficient quantity to help meet the growing demand for reliable and economic gas supplies in London and the South of England.

The pipeline is 900mm (36 inches) in diameter and runs for 21km, from National Grid's existing installations at Grain, Shorne and Gravesend. As subcontractor of the main contractor Amec, Koop provides the equipment and dewatering specialists to undertake all dewatering services necessary for the construction.
