SCG COLLABORATES WITH PWA TO INSTALL THE WORLD'S FIRST-EVER PE112 SUBMARINE PIPELINE TO IMPORT FRESHWATER TO KOH SAMUI

Chemicals Business, SCG has partnered up with the Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA) in Thailand’s first-ever underwater pipeline installation project, featuring a freshwater water pipeline of approximately 20 kilometers from Khanom District in Nakhon Si Thammarat to Samui in Surat Thani.
