Tackling technical difficulties in hydraulic tests on large-diameter gas pipelines

CEPS carried out the stress-tests and related operations on international gas pipeline GAZELLE. Cleaning, calibration, stress-tests and drying were carried out on the DN 1400 pipeline, which runs across the mountains, negotiating a difference in elevation of almost 700 m.

In 2011 and 2012, a DN 1400 international gas pipeline, GAZELLE, was built in the Czech Republic – the first gas pipeline with this diameter running across the county; the full length of the gas pipeline was subjected to stress-tests. In the second half of 2012, CEPS carried out the stress-tests and related operations on LOT 1B from the Brandov border transfer station to the Syrovice line closing valve, having a length of 52.5 km.

Cleaning, calibration, stress-tests and drying were carried out on the pipeline, which runs across the Krušne hory Mts. negotiating a difference in elevation of almost 700 m. In the end, the gas pipeline was dried prior to its putting into operation.

The contribution describes the stress-test on the pipeline, focusing on the technically difficult solutions at the stage of the preparation of the stress-test project, the determination of the technical parameters for each of the sections, and the actual performance of the tests.
