Project
Overview

Colongra Lateral Pipeline

Lonestar Automated Welding was sub-contracted to perform Automated Welding at Delta Electricity’s Munmorah Power station during installation of a gas fired turbine near existing coal fired turbines.

Jemena being the primary contractor used Diona as the desired sub-contractor to carry out construction works.  Automated welding was the only solution for these 500 joins, given the small amount of time required, the wall thickness, and the engineering design used in which Lonestar Automated Welding provided labour and equipment to perform Automated Flux Cored Welding.

Diona provided pipe movements & end preparation of 42 inch pipe.  Manual Bead & hot pass was performed using an external clamp for 42inch pipe size.  Lonestar Automated Welding was responsible for Auto Flux Cored Filling and Cap welding passes to weld specification AS2885.
