Regional steel producer selected for Atlantic Coast Pipeline

1 min read

RICHMOND, Va. – A Westmoreland County company is set to produce the steel pipe for a proposed $5 billion pipeline that would deliver natural gas to the Southeast.

Energy provider Dominion Resources Inc. and its partners on the Atlantic Coast Pipeline said Wednesday they’ve signed a $400-million-plus agreement with Dura-Bond Industries, based in Export.

The 550-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline would run through West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina. It’s a joint venture among Dominion, Duke Energy, Piedmont Natural Gas and AGL Resources.

If approved by federal regulators, the pipeline is expected to be in service by late 2018.

Dura-Bond is set to begin producing 42-inch and 36-inch pipe at its mill in Steelton, outside Harrisburg, later this year. It plans to hire about 150 to produce the pipe through March 2017.
