Gazprom put into operation a gas pipeline in South Ossetia

August 26 in Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) held celebrations devoted to commissioning the pipeline Dzuarikau - Tskhinvali, the report said Gazprom.

Start a gas pipeline, Dzuarikau - Tskhinvali will become a powerful impetus to upgrade the economy of South Ossetia, as well as a significant enhancement of social stability in the republic. Thanks to this pipeline will be significantly enhanced supply security in South Ossetia.

Construction Dzuarikau - Tskhinvali has no analogues in the world in terms of complexity. The project not only has enormous socio-economic importance, but also opens a new page in the history of the construction of gas pipelines in mountainous regions , - the deputy chairman of Gazprom Alexander Ananenkov.

Construction of gas pipeline Dzuarikau - Tskhinvali was conducted in difficult geological and climatic conditions, mountainous part of the Greater Caucasus, noted in the announcement of Gazprom. Almost half of the pipeline route (75.4 miles) laid in a mountainous area at an altitude of 1500 m, in areas of high seismicity, landslides, seleopasnyh and avalanche areas extending up to several hundred meters, and fault zones length from 2 to 15 km. On the track laid, 15 tunnels with total length of 1848 meters, was built 29 crossings water obstacles. The route passes through five mountain ranges, and the pass Kudarsky overcomes point in the 3148 m.

Gas South Ossetia carried liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from Russia, as well as the gas network, reaching for the gas offtake Agar - Tskhinvali from the main gas pipeline Tbilisi - Kutaisi.

None of these paths is not sufficiently reliable. Uninterrupted provision of settlements of the republic of LPG depends on the complex natural and climatic conditions (mountainous terrain, frequent snow drifts, avalanches, rockfalls and avalanches). The risk of disruptions in the supply network of gas from the pipeline going through Georgia, is quite high because of geopolitical reasons, the report said Gazprom.

In August 2008, Gazprom spent working on the restoration of gas facilities in South Ossetia, which was destroyed in the fighting. Was re-built gas distribution station and fully refurbished distribution networks Tskhinvali. January 24, 2009 natural gas supply to consumers was resumed.
