Nea Messambria compressor station
In December 2008 a consortium comprising Stroytransgaz (consortium leader) and the Russian-Greek joint enterprise Prometheus Gas S.A. signed a contract for construction of the Nea Messambria compressor station along the Kulata-Athens gas pipeline in the area of Saloniki, Greece. Construction of the station was envisioned in the December 1994 agreement between the governments of the Russian Federation and the Hellenic Republic.
Greek state company DESFA S.A., operator of the nation’s gas transportation system, is customer for the project.
The contract was concluded on EPC terms. In addition to engineering and procurement, Stroytransgaz will be responsible for assembling equipment, piping connections, electricity, instrumentation and automated control systems, cathodic protection, operational systems, and precommissioning.
Work is scheduled to be completed in 2011.
