Pipeline Construction in Australia - Market Research Report

Sprung a leak: The staged completion of large-scaled developments will plug up demand

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

The Pipeline Construction industry builds transport infrastructure to support activities in other industries, such as the Oil and Gas Extraction industry, Pipeline Transport industry and Gas Supply industry. Investment in major construction projects to support export opportunities tends to be volatile, while expanding existing infrastructure to meet domestic demand offers a more consistent source of revenue for players. Since the late 2000s, much of the industry's focus has been on constructing pipelines for the CSG and LNG projects in northern Australia. Industry operators have also worked on major long-distance pipelines to deliver natural gas for domestic use and power generation. Industry operators primarily construct pipelines to transport oil and gas and supply urban gas mains. Industry firms also construct pipelines for refined petroleum products and non-hydrocarbon products, such as chemicals and foodstuffs. Pipeline network construction is excluded from the industry.
