GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. undertakes engineering design of the Lwówek – Odolanów gas pipeline
Transmission System Operator GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. sets out to develop a 165-kilometre long high-pressure gas pipeline from Lwówek to Odolanów with a diameter of 1000 mm and a working pressure of 8.4 MPa. The project has been divided into two stages:
• Stage I comprises a connection between the Lwówek, Kotowo and Krobia system points (approx. 110 km).
• Stage II comprises a connection between Krobia and Odolanów system points (approx. 55 km).
The contractor for the building permit design and detailed engineering design of the project was selected following a public tender procedure. The contract for a conceptual, building permit and detailed engineering design of the gas pipeline was signed with ILF Consulting Engineers Polska Sp. z o.o.
Among other things, the project contractor is responsible for obtaining a location decision for the project and a final and binding building permit. The completion of the engineering design documentation and the permitting process is expected in 2015. At that stage, it will be possible to call out a tender for the pipeline construction.
According to the project schedule, the completion of construction works is planned for 2017.

Transmission pipelines the company plans to build in Poland as part of the North-South Gas Corridor will be progressively developed until 2018. Overall, nearly 1000 km of new transmission pipelines will be constructed.
In the western part of Poland, the company's investment plan will feature 8 high-pressure gas pipelines with diameters ranging from 700 mm to 1000 mm and total length of 520 km.
In addition to the Lwówek – Odolanów pipeline, they will include:
• Czeszów – Wierzchowice
• Czeszów - Kiełczów
• Tworóg – Tworzeń
• Tworóg – Kędzierzyn
• Zdzieszowice – Wrocław
• Zdzieszowice – Kędzierzyn
