Komotini-Alexandroupolis gas pipeline
In 2005 Stroytransgaz, in a consortium with Russian-Greek company Prometheus Gas S.A, concluded a contract with the Greek state gas company DEPA S.A. for construction of the Komotini-Alexandroupolis high-pressure gas pipeline.
The 53.4-kilometer Komotini-Alexandroupolis became the western branch of an already constructed gas pipeline running from the Greek-Turkish border to Alexandroupolis. It connected the Greek gas transportation system with its Turkish counterpart, thanks to which Greece obtained a new channel for delivery of natural gas.
As provided for in the contract, Stroytransgaz undertook construction-assembly and procurement work. In addition to the linear part of the pipeline, the company built site facilities, three line valve stations, and a pig receiver.
The route of the gas pipeline traverses irrigated lands and difficult-to-access mountain and ledge areas with numerous natural and man-made obstacles: river beds, forest areas, synclines, hills, and rocks, and highways and railroads.
