Gascontrol Polska performs hot tapping and plugging works on high-pressure pipeline

Gascontrol Polska sp. z o.o. – in cooperation with Gascontrol s.r.o. – performed hot tapping and plugging works on a high-pressure gas transmission pipeline DN700 (28”) MOP 6,3MPa in Nowa Sarzyna, Poland at the end of 2024.

The aim of the separation of the gas pipeline section was to remove upwelling in the vicinity of the water ditch, thereby minimising the risk of damage during drainage infrastructure maintenance works. The main challenges of the project included a very short service lead time, an atypical pipeline of OD 720 mm – the majority of 28” pipelines in Poland are OD 711 mm – and strict HSE requirements due to the short distance to private properties in the vicinity of the worksite.

The project was carried out in its entirety, including engineering, permitting, supply of materials, welding, mechanical works and crane services. The total turnaround time, from the day of signing the contract, was less than four weeks, which is a noteworthy achievement considering the non-standard nature of the project.
