ArmInfo. Repair and relaying work on Goris-Stepanakert gas main has
been completed to assure reliable gas supply to Nagorno Karabakh,
press service of ArmRusgazprom CJSC reported. Two gas pipelines with
diameter of 500 mm, running in parallel, were completely distorted
as a result of landslides. At present, relaying of gas pipelines
sections with length of 1075 l m and 1105 l m has been carried out,
so, the pipelines have been withdrawn from the area of landslides. The
relaying work on the river crossing was especially difficult, as the
river deepened its bed as in the course of time and uncovered the gas
pipeline section with length of about 200 l m. It has become necessary
to build an additional road with 3 km of length for the relaying work,
after which supports will be built along the width of the river and
gas pipelines sections with length of 205 l m and 229 l m will be
mounted. About 450 mln drams were allocated for the scheduled work.
