Background
Gardabani-Navtlugi (D=700 mm; L=30.2 km, P0=55 bar) and Navtlugi-Saguramo (D=700 mm; L=50.6 km, P0=55 bar) sections were built in 2007-2010. These pipelines transmit SOCAR’s gas to the territory of Georgia (SOCAR’s gas is transmitted to Azerbaijan-Georgian border by means of the Azerbaijani section of Kazakhi-Saguramo Gas Pipeline). Kazakhi-Saguramo 500 mm pipeline sections were replaced by Gardabani-Saguramo pipeline. Also, Navtlugi (Gamarjveba)-Saguramo pipeline is in parallel to Vladikavkaz-Tbilisi pipeline section of North Caucasus Transcaucasia Pipeline and is deployed in densely populated areas of Tbilisi which significantly enhanced the operational reliability of the gas pipelines and increased transmission capacity. Gardabani-Navtlugi Pipeline is connected to Vladikavkaz-Tbilisi Pipeline by Gachiani and Navtlugi GRS, and the latter’s 188-kilometer benchmark is connected to Navtlugi-Saguramo section at 41 kilometer point with 500 mm connector.[1]
