GasNet completes reconstruction of regulation station near Velim, making regional gas flows even safer

GasNet Group, the largest gas distributor in the Czech Republic, has successfully completed the reconstruction of a high-pressure regulation station near the village of Velim in the Kolín region. The project was organisationally more demanding: the original station was completely dismantled and a new one was built near nearby Vítězov. This work took place simultaneously with the reconstruction of high-pressure gas pipelines in the nearby locality of Břežany, requiring precise coordination of all teams. Despite the challenging conditions, GasNet completed the construction without interrupting gas supplies to customers. Local households and businesses were supplied during the planned reconstruction period using liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers. By completing the project, GasNet Group has increased the safety and reliability of gas supplies in the region.

GasNet Group operates more than three thousand regulation stations in the Czech Republic. These ensure that gas always reaches customers at the correct pressure so that they can use it safely. The regulation station near Velim reduces gas pressure from 2.3 MPa to 300 kPa.
