ShawCor Ltd. (TSX: SCL.A, SCL.B) today announced its pipecoating division, Bredero Shaw, has received a second contract from Chevron Australia Pty. Ltd. to provide pipeline coatings and related products and services for the flowlines on the Wheatstone Project.  This contract is in addition to the previously announced contract to supply coatings on the gas supply trunkline for the Wheatstone Project.  The combined value of the two contracts will exceed US$170 million.  The insulated flowlines will transport production from the gas fields, which are located offshore North West Australia, to the Wheatstone platform.
