ArmInfo. Within the framework of the work schedule approved for the current year, the company will conduct a comprehensive inspection and diagnostics of underground gas pipelines of the gas transportation system and gas distribution network with a total length of over 335 km, as well as technical devices and process equipment at 15 gas distribution stations (GDS). This is stated in a statement by the company's press service.
According to the source, comprehensive diagnostics of the technical condition of underground gas pipelines, gas distribution stations, and other engineering units of the gas supply system is an important component in ensuring reliable, uninterrupted gas supply to subscribers, and the operation and maintenance of gas transmission and gas distribution systems.
Diagnostic work, in accordance with approved schedules, is carried out both by the Diagnostic Survey service of the Engineering Center branch and by specialists of the gasification and gas supply branches (GSB) of Gazprom Armenia CJSC.
The functions of the Diagnostic Survey service also include field studies (engineering and geophysical surveys) for the design of electrochemical protection systems, engineering and geodetic work necessary for the repair of existing or construction of new gas pipelines and gas distribution stations, and training of GSB employees involved in diagnostics. According to the head of the Diagnostic Survey Service, Gevorg Gevorgyan, as of June 1, 2024, the specialists of the Diagnostic Survey Service have already completed a comprehensive diagnostics of about 65 km of gas pipelines and 5 gas distribution stations. This year, work is also planned on a detailed inspection of 21 overhead crossings of main gas pipelines. "Inspection and diagnostics of the technical condition of gas pipelines and other objects of the gas supply system plays an important role, since these works allow timely identification of problems and decisions on further repair or replacement of sections of the gas pipeline or equipment. The Diagnostic Survey Service is equipped with all the necessary devices and tools, and the most modern ones, with the help of which our specialists can accurately and with high accuracy record problems and defects. Technical reports based on the collected data are then transferred to the operating organizations, which then take appropriate measures to eliminate the problems," noted the head of the Diagnostic Survey Service.
