Stroytransgaz at Work on New ESPO Section
Friday, March 07, 2008
Stroytransgaz recently began construction work on the Mogot-Tynda section of the Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean oil pipeline. The contract for the work was signed at the end of 2007.
This section, located along the ESPO route between kilometer 2522 and kilometer 2620, will run 87 kilometers and have a diameter of 1220 mm.
The company has already completed cleanup and preparation of the route along its entire length. Twenty-five kilometers of the pipeline have been welded and a large part of it has been laid into the trench and backfilled.
Additional information
Stroytransgaz has participated in realizing the ESPO since 2006. Of the nearly 2,700 kilometers in the first stage of the main pipeline’s construction, the company has already completed the full complex of construction work on five sections whose lengths total 405 kilometers. In undertaking this work, Stroytransgaz drew on several of its subsidiaries and branches – Belstroytransgaz, Neftegazspetsstroy, Yuzhtruboprovodstroy, Neftegazstroycontrol, Stroytransgaz-Vostok, and the Ufim, Krasnoyarsk, Tynda and Irkutsk branches.
The first stage of the ESPO is not only characterized by significant length and the absence of transportation and industrial infrastructure but also by complicated geological, hydrological and seismic conditions. Therefore, Stroytransgaz is devoting particular attention to the professional level of personnel in its construction subdivisions. Stroytransgaz was the first contracting organizations taking part in building the ESPO to be awarded a certificate of compliance with quality management system standards GOST R ISO 9001-2001 and RD-03.120.10-KTN-038-07, Standards for Contracting Organizations Working with Transneft.
