Our Services
- Basic Engineering: Preparation of the final pipeline routing and the design basis for the process / instrumentation issues according to which, the detail engineering was based. This included final pipeline routing, contacts with Authorities, process Basic Design of the pipeline system, M.T.O. material requisitions, Technological Assessment of pipe materials, Basic Electrical and instrumentation design, Geological investigation, Cost Estimation and Project Management documentation.
- Environmental Impact Assessment Study (EIA): Preparation of a substantiated and site specific study regarding the investigation of the environmental impacts, which could affect the environment and specific systems, due to the construction and operation of the gas pipeline. This involves legislative restrictions, Contacts with Authorities, Environmental Systems Investigation, Environmental and Management Plan.
- Safety Study: Preparation of safety study regarding the investigation of the safety levels related to the gas pipeline to be commissioned, anal using the potential risks and the relevant consequences during the operation stage of the project. This also entailed the formation of the safety study objectives, a risk analysis and risk analysis assumptions.
- Authorities Investigation / Permits Acquisition: Identification of all the involved authorities for obtaining pipeline routing approval, as well as acquisition of all permits required by the Law for the Project implementation (i.e. Installation Act) were the Client's responsibility.
- Geological / Geolechnical/ Geoelectrical/Seismic Studies: The design of the Greek/ Turkish Borders - Alexandroupolis - Komotini H.P. Natural Gas Pipeline requires the execution of Geological / Geotechnical and Seismic studies along the pipeline route.

Description
The project referred to the construction of a new High Pressure Gas Transmission Pipeline (diam. 36") of approx. 86 Km , which would transport Natural Gas from Turkey to Greece (from the Greek/Turkish borders to Alexandroupolis and up to Komotini)
The scope of the project was the construction of a "bi-directional" High Pressure Gas Transmission Pipeline connecting Komotini (through Alexandroupolis) with the Turkish High Pressure Gas Transmission Pipeline at the Greek/Turkish Border in the area of Kipi.
The pipeline is used:
- To supply the major area of Alexandroupolis and the Power Company ENELCO at Alexandroupolis area from the existing Greek Natural Gas Transmission System or
- To supply the Greek Natural Gas Transmission System with gas received from the Turkish Natural Gas transmission System through the Border Metering Station in the area of Kipi.
The Project has been designed, constructed, tested and commissioned in accordance with the requirements of ASME B31.8. "Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems".
