ESPO – Pump Stations for Crude Oil Pipeline
Location: Siberia, Russian Federation
Services: Commissioning, Site management
Client: Transneft
Project description
The government of the Russian Federation granted Transneft –Russian state company and operator of the country‘s crude oil pipeline – the contract to construct the ESPO pipeline (Eastern Siberia - Pacific Ocean). It bears the name of its path and, at around 2,700 kilometers in length and investments of about 12 billion US dollars, in the first construction phase it reaches from Taishet (Irkutsk) to Skovorodino (Armur region), near the Chinese border.
In addition to aspects of environmental protection, extreme regional conditions such as the risk of earthquakes in the highest category and ambient temperatures of up to minus 60 degrees Celsius pose particular challenges.
