OREANDA-NEWS. October 13, 2008. Stroytransgaz has begun capital renovations of a gas pipeline in Finland – the Pajari-Valkeala – a 217-kilometer pipeline whose diameter is 28 inches. The Finnish company Gasum Oy is customer for the project.

In accordance with the contract concluded in June 2008 with the project’s general contractor, Finnish company UIT Rakennus Oy, Stroytransgaz will disassemble the old section and build a new section of the gas pipeline, assemble two valve units, four junction points, a receiver-launching station for cleaning mechanisms, and a facility for drying and releasing an intelligent pig. The term for construction is 12 months.

Stroytransgaz has already disengaged the section of the Pajari-Valkeala that is to be replaced. It has nearly completed mobilizing equipment and personnel to accept the pipe that the customer will deliver.
