An order has been placed for the Perth Wave Energy Project pipeline system requirements with FlexSteel Pipeline Technologies, Inc.

The award of this contract marks the 7th key component commitment for the Perth Wave Energy Project following the award of contracts for the CETO Pumps, the CETO Energy Relief System, Hydraulic Accumulators, Control & Isolation Valves, the CETO Unit Buoyant Actuators, and the CETO Unit Attachment & Foundation Connector.
Carnegie’s Chief Operating Officer, Greg Allen said “The pipework is a critical Project work package required for the safe and reliable delivery of the pressurised fluid ashore for power and water production. It is another good step forward for the Project and we are on track to place the remaining 3 orders for key project elements in the next 30 days.”
