The consortium of Budimex S.A. and Mostostal Kraków S.A. signed a contract worth PLN 521 million 479 055 net with the Gas Transmission Operator GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. for: “Construction of the Strachocina-Border gas pipeline together with the infrastructure necessary for its operation”, which is a connection of the transmission systems of the Republic of Poland and the Slovak Republic.
The investment will be carried out by Budimex’s Power and Industrial Construction Division . In October 2018, Budimex completed the contract for the construction of the Czeszów-Kiełczów gas pipeline for the same investor.
The works begin on the day of signing the contract and the deadline for completion of the works is 31 months from the date of its signing. The investment includes the construction of a high-pressure gas pipeline with a length of approximately 59 km and a diameter of DN 1000 and an operating pressure of 8.4 MPa. During the implementation, trenchless technologies such as HDD (horizontal directional drilling), Direct Pipe and microtunneling will be used. Due to the route of the gas pipeline in areas threatened by geodynamic movements, it will be necessary to secure landslides with the use of stabilizing micropiles.
The route of the gas pipeline will run through the municipalities of Sanok, Bukowsko and Komańcza in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. The investment is an important element of Gaz-System’s investment strategy due to its strategic importance – the interconnection of the Polish and Slovak natural gas transmission systems. The parties to the project are Gaz – System and Eustream a.s – the Polish and Slovak transmission system operators.
