The proponent proposes to construct and operate a number of looping sections adjacent (and connected) to the existing underground gas transmission pipeline within the DBNGP corridor. There are nine separate looping sections proposed from CS 1 south of Karratha, to CS 9, north of Gingin. Looping is a process of duplicating an existing pipeline between compressor stations for a certain distance. Once the specified distance is reached, it then ties back to the parallel pipeline. This design... Read more...
