Kaztransoil Completes Pipeline Tie-In At Kazakhstan Railway Crossing
The railway project aims to develop Kazakhstan's rail network, improve freight transport efficiency and expand the country's transit capacity. As the railway alignment crosses the existing oil pipeline, a section had to be realigned to meet technical and safety requirements for the reliable operation of both infrastructure systems.
As part of the project, a 1,006-meter-long section of pipeline with a diameter of 820 millimeters was constructed in accordance with Kazakhstan's applicable regulatory requirements.
Pipes with increased wall thickness and enhanced external anti-corrosion coating were used to ensure the pipeline's structural strength and long-term durability. At the railway crossing, the pipeline was enclosed in a steel protective casing to provide additional protection against external impacts.
The project ensures that the realigned section of the oil pipeline system is technically ready for operation alongside the developing railway infrastructure. It also supports the reliable transportation of oil while accommodating the construction of new transport facilities.
KazTransOil is Kazakhstan's national oil pipeline operator, providing oil transportation services for the domestic market, transit, and exports. The company's main oil pipeline network spans 5,196 kilometers. Oil transportation is supported by 36 pumping stations, 68 oil heating furnaces, and oil storage facilities with a total capacity of 1.426 million cubic meters.
