An announcement is made by Buckeye Partners, L.P., about a multi-million dollar contract which is bagged by them for the fabrication of two large piping manifolds to Quality Services Limited (QSL), Freeport, Grand Bahama.
The Work in this contract includes fabrication of structural steel, mechanical piping, and electrical wiring to be assembled and shipped in six modules totaling over 11,000 square feet, as an integral part of the modernization of Buckeye\'s Perth Amboy, New Jersey, USA terminal facility.

\"Buckeye Partners and QSL have worked together extensively on the expansion of the BORCO facility over the past two years,\" said Joseph Sauger, Buckeye\'s Senior Vice President, Engineering and Construction.
