Rota-3 is a 380-km pipeline connecting the natural gas and oil field in the Santos basin, just off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, with the Comberj refinery.
After a planning and negotiation process lasting more than two years, Voestalpine Grobblech has secured a further major contract in Brazil.
The Rota-3 project will lay a deep-ocean pipeline near Rio de Janeiro at depths of up to 2,500 metres below sea level.
Voestalpine will supply sour-gas-resistant, high-strength linepipe plates between September 2014 and March 2015.
