Gaz-System begins construction of gas link with Slovakia

Gaz-Sys­tem is beginning the construction of an interconnector linking Poland and Slovakia. The aim of the project is to build a trans-border pipeline, which will connect the natural gas transmission systems of both countries, the company announced on Thursday.

"Gaz-System and Eustream, a Slovak transmission system operator, are both parties to the project. The construction of a gas connection between Poland and Slovakia will be an important element of the concept of building a regional North-South Gas Corridor," the company announced in a statement.

The project foresees that the pipeline of approximately 58 kilometers will run from Strachocin to the Polish border. Additionally, a gas node, a measuring station and a compressor station will be built in Strachocin.

Contractor Gaz-System was selected through a public tender procedure.
