Budimex has signed an agreement with the Gas Transmission Operator GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. for the implementation of investments of key importance for Polish’s energy security. The contract includes the construction of a modern gas compressor station in Lwówek (Wielkopolska province) and the expansion and modernization of the existing transmission hub. The new infrastructure will make it possible to maintain stable pressure in gas pipelines, ensuring continuity and security of gas supplies to strategic sectors of the national economy.
The investment with a maximum net value of PLN 481.2 million is to be completed within 23 months of signing the agreement. The scope of work includes, among others:
- construction of three compressor units with a total capacity of approx. 24 MW (3 x 8 MW) with accompanying infrastructure,
- construction of DN 1000 MOP 8.4 MPa connection units to ZZU Zębowo on SGT DN1400,
- modernization of the ZZU DN1400 gas pipeline along with the replacement of the linear valve,
- construction of two DN 1000 MOP 8.4 MPa connection gas pipelines with a direction switching system,
- construction of a measurement and regulation station SGT,
- demolition, expansion and reconstruction of the gas infrastructure enabling the connection of the designed elements with the existing transmission infrastructure,
- construction of a two-way KSP measuring station.
The implementation of the first stage of the construction of the Lwówek Gas Compressor Station is another breakthrough investment of Budimex in the area of gas infrastructure and the fifth joint project with GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. In the period 2016 – 2025 , the leader of the Polish construction market was responsible for the construction of:
– DN1000 Strachocina – Polish Border (Poland-Slovakia) gas pipeline with a length of approx. 61 kilometres,
– DN1000 Czeszów – Kiełczów gas pipeline with a length of approx. 32.5 km
– DN1000 Goleniów – Ciecierzyce gas pipeline with a length of approx. 122 km
– DN700 Rembelszczyzna – Mory gas pipeline with a length of approx. 28.5 km
The total value of these projects exceeds PLN 1 billion.
” We are glad that we can implement another project together with a company that is strategic for the Polish economy. The return to cooperation with Gaz System on this investment is a confirmation for us that the developed operating model and mutual trust translate into high quality of implementation. Our experience in the area of gas, energy and industrial investments allows us to play the role of a responsible partner in this type of project, use resources efficiently and really strengthen the country’s energy security,” says Maciej Olek, Member of the Management Board of Budimex SA, Chief Operating Officer of Railway, Energy and Industrial Construction.
Budimex has many years of experience in the implementation of complex energy and industrial projects. For years, the company has been implementing investments requiring the highest safety standards, which confirms its competence to carry out projects of strategic importance for the national economy and critical infrastructure.
