In 2015-2023, GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. is planning to build a total of approximately 2000 km of new pipelines in Western, Southern and Eastern parts of Poland.
Due to the enormous scope of investment work, the company decided to apply the optimum method of investment project implementation, consisting of purchase of materials for the construction of pipelines (pipes and reinforcements) directly from manufacturers. This method of project implementation provides for significant acceleration of the investment work and an improvement of costs efficiency.
“Our new investment projects which have already been started in the majority of cases, consist of an extension of gas infrastructure in Western, Southern and Eastern Poland. We have assumed that by 2018, the most important investment tasks for the Polish transmission system will be implemented or prepared within the so-called North-South Corridor. That is why, the intention of the company is to manage the whole investment process in the best possible way and obtain additional benefits resulting from a large scale of purchases and, therefore, ensuring significant savings. Due to this reason, we have decided again to employ the well-tested method of investment implementation as part of the procedure of investor’s deliveries,” emphasized Sławomir Śliwiński, Member of the Management Board of GAZ-SYSTEM S.A.
