ARMATURY Group has recently supplied valves to the Polish gas company to the total value of 34 million CZK. Delivered ball valves and gate valves will be installed in gas pipeline Lwówek – Odolanów. The pipeline route, with a diameter of 1000 mm, has a total length of 168 km.
“We won the contract in a public tender in 2015. Supplies were divided into four phases and was run during 2016. These were the valves for both the aboveground and underground part of the pipeline. Some products have to be coated with a special coat PROTEGOL that protects those parts of the valves which are destined for underground,” said Karel Malchárek – sales manager for Poland. ARMATURY Group delivered for this project a total of 106 valves. Most of them were ball valves K92 in sizes DN 150 and DN 1000, PN 100 and the remaining items consisted of fully welded gate valves.
The biggest ball valves were for pipes with a diameter of 1000 mm. All six of these ball valves were equipped with ground units with the extension of the control pin and remote control using an electrohydraulic actuator.
