Yamal-Europe
The need to increase the volume of Russian gas exported to Western Europe set parameters for developing the shortest route for delivery from the fields of Tyumen Oblast to European consumers. The Yamal-Europe gas pipeline became one of the twentieth century’s largest main lines: the total length of the system—4,107 kilometers.
Yamalgazinvest and Beltransgaz are the customers in Russia and Belarus, respectively.
Stroytransgaz fulfills the functions of general contractor. In addition to constructing the line parts of the Russia-Belarus span, 977 kilometers, our company has built compressor stations: Smolensk (96 MW), Nesvizh (80 MW), Orshansk (80 MW), Slonimsk (80 MW), Ukhtinsk (75 MW), Novoyubileynaya (75 MW), Peregrebninskaya (48 MW). The second phases of Ukhtinsk, Novoyubileynaya, Peregrebninskaya compressor stations are constructing.
Stroytransgaz completed several sections of the SRTO-Torzhok gas pipeline, a 630-kilometer line of the Yamal-Europe system, whose diameter is 1,420 millimeters. Construction and assembly works, installation of CP, telemechanization, and other facilities are included within the scope of the general contractor’s work.
The project is under way.
Technology
-
Stroytransgaz uses stress testing to examine the line part of the gas pipeline.
-
The northernmost section of the SRTO-Torzhok is very boggy and contains a large number of rivers, necessitating subsurface-technical work. We use non-lifting placement of ballasted pipeline to overcome these problems.
