Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Led by oil & gas pipelines, Mexico could see as much as $8.9 billion in project kickoffs for the upcoming quarter, according to Industrial Info's project database. Construction starts for manufacturing and power projects also figure prominently in second-quarter 2016.

More than three fourths of the total investment value--$6.8 billion--is tied to projects that are in the engineering phases, and about $400 million stems from projects in early construction. Nearly $1.7 billion worth of projects are in the planning phases, where plenty of factors still could increase, decrease or totally eliminate the expected spending.
By industry category, kickoffs for oil & gas pipelines amount to nearly $2.7 billion in total investment value (TIV). Among these is part of the Laguna - Aguascalientes natural gas pipeline, which involves installing 600 kilometers of 42-inch-wide pipe to ultimately supply Comision Federal de Electricidad's power stations in Durango, Zacatecas and Aguascalientes. Completion is set for fourth-quarter 2017. For more information on the project, see Industrial Info's project report.
Industrial manufacturing projects come in second, with a combined TIV of more than $2.5 billion. Chief among these is the Tuxpan Container Terminal II in Tuxpan, Veracruz, with a TIV of $550 million. The project by owner Administracion Portuaria Integral Tuxpan (Tuxpan) and operator Grupo TMM (Mexico City) will have a capacity of 800,000 twenty-foot equivalent container units and will double the port capacity at Tuxpan. Completion is expected in third-quarter 2018. For more information on the project, see Industrial Info's project report.
Next come power projects, with a combined value of nearly $2 billion. Located in Guaymas, Conora, Comision Federal de Electricidad's Empalme II natural-gas fired combined cycle power station has a TIV of $750 million and will generate more than 700 megawatts (MW). The project construction contract was awarded to a consortium comprising Duro Felguera SA (MCE:MDF) (Oviedo, Spain) and Elecnor de Mexico, SA de CV (Mexico City). Completion is expected in second-quarter 2018. For more information on the project, see Industrial Info's project report and December 21, 2015, article - Construction Contract Awarded for Empalme II Power Station in Mexico.
The remaining seven highest-value projects set to kick off in Mexico are:
