Budimex SA, in a consortium with Mostostal Kraków SA, is constructing a DN 1000 MOP 8.4 MPa high-pressure gas pipeline on the section ZZU Czeszów – Kiełczów junction, together with the infrastructure necessary for its operation. This is the first contract of this type in the history of Budimex.
Last year, Budimex was the only company from outside the gas sector to successfully pass all the pre-qualifications announced by GAZ SYSTEM S.A., obtain a number of certificates and submit the most advantageous bid in the tender, which allowed the company to appear on the gas fuel market.
The construction of the gas pipeline started in February, and today the installation of a section of the DN 1000 gas pipeline with a length of 1000 km has begun. 550 m by horizontal directional drilling. The gas pipeline with a diameter of 1000 mm will be 32.5 km long and will run through agricultural, forested and partly urbanized areas.
The scope of the contract with GAZ SYSTEM S.A. covers the construction of a DN 1000 mm high-pressure gas pipeline with an operating pressure of 8.4 MPa in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. It is made of steel pipes. L485 MB with wall thicknesses of 14.2 mm and 22.2 mm. The project also includes the construction of linear shut-off and relief units with bypass systems in the area of Miłonowice and in the area of the Kiełczów junction.
The consortium will make 28 trenchless crossings over terrain obstacles using jacking and microtunneling in DN 1200 and DN 1400 casing pipes and 2 crossings of valuable natural areas using horizontal directional drilling (HDD) with a total length of 1250 m. The scope of the project also includes gasification and commissioning of the gas pipeline.
Budimex, as the Contractor, has already carried out tree felling in accordance with the environmental decision, sapper surveys of the area along the entire length of the gas pipeline and is responsible for archaeological research and supervision.
