MEDGAZ will carry out the internal inspection of the gas pipeline between 17 and 27 september 2024.
It is part of the regular maintenance work on the gas pipeline, which began in 2023.
Almería, 12/09/2024
From the early hours of Tuesday, 17 September until Friday, 27 September, MEDGAZ will carry out an internal inspection of the gas pipeline that connects its facilities from Beni Saf (Algeria) to la playa de Perdigal in Almería (Spain).
This operation is a continuation of last year’s maintenance work, and as in the previous year, it will be carried out using pistons of different types that will be introduced into the pipeline in the MEDGAZ Compression station located in Beni Saf (Algeria) which, driven by the natural gas transported by the pipeline, will travel to the Reception Terminal in Almería for inspection and cleaning.
The cleaning operation carried out last year, the first comprehensive operation undertaken on the gas pipeline since the start of its activity, guarantees the internal inspection scheduled for 17 September will be simpler. As the operation is carried out inside the pipeline, as in 2023, there are no risks to the marine environment or interference with fishing activity or maritime traffic.
This inspection will be in addition to those carried out every three years from outside the pipeline.
In accordance with MEDGAZ management protocol, the Local Almería Government has been duly informed of the procedure, who in turn will advise the relevant department of Public Administration, so that they are aware of the operation.
