Warsaw Pipe

The project involves the construction of a high-pressure gas pipeline along the route from Rembelszczyzna to Mory in the Mazowieckie Province, in the districts of Legionowo, West Warsaw and Warsaw, across the municipalities of Nieporęt, Jabłonna, Warsaw (districts of: Białołęka, Bielany, Bemowo), Łomianki, Stare Babice, and Ożarów Mazowiecki. The investment project is of strategic nature.

Project parameters:

• Diameter: 700 mm
• Operating pressure: 8.4 MPa,
• Length: 28.5 km

Project status:
In the first half of 2023, the pipeline design engineering was completed, and the construction phase commenced, comprising the following tasks:

• geodetic delineation of the route and archaeological and sapper investigation,
• removal of vegetation and removal of humus layer,
• pipe laying and trenching,
• gas pipeline laying in the trench and testing,
• restoration of the site to its original condition,
• gas pipeline route marking,
• technical acceptance and commissioning,
• project completion scheduled for 2025

 
The beneficiaries of the project include natural gas recipients in the Warsaw municipal area. Once implemented, the project will provide better access to natural gas for both industrial customers and distribution centres, taking into account the growing municipal demand from households in Warsaw and neighbouring municipalities along the route of the gas pipeline.


Project objective(s)
The construction of the Warsaw Pipe is a public purpose investment project conceived to bolster the energy security of Warsaw. The possibility of connecting new consumers such as combined heat and power plants and heating plants to the gas network will translate into  increased electricity and heat generation capacity of the capital city. The new gas pipeline will ensure long-term security of gas supply, taking into account both current needs and the anticipated growth in municipal demand for gaseous fuel in Warsaw. The new gas pipeline will also increase the security of supply and improve the operating conditions of the entire transmission network. The construction of the Warsaw Pipe will also enable further development of district heating system which is the best solution for combating urban smog.

The project, called “Construction of the Rembelszczyzna-Mory gas pipeline,” is covered by funding under the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate and Environment 2021-2027 program.
