Nord Stream

Gas from the Russian natural gas field Yuzhno-Russkoye – and in future also from the gas fields of the Jamal peninsula and Shtokmanovskoye – is to be supplied to the Western European grid. To this end an offshore pipeline with two lines is planned from Vyborg in Russia to the German Baltic Sea coast near Greifswald. From here the gas will be routed to the German grid and to the Netherlands, Denmark, France, England and other countries.

EUROPIPE produced and delivered approx. 990 km (860,000 tons) of pipe for the first line to Nord Stream. Also for the second line EUROPIPE is the main pipe supplier and will manufacture approx. 850 km (714,000 tons) large-diameter pipe.
All pipes get an inside lining with epoxy and an outside coating with polyethylene by our subsidiary MÜLHEIM PIPECOATINGS.



Here are some data on the project: Total length twice 1,220 km, max. water depth 210 m, starting pressure 220 bar, basic specifications DNV OS-F 101, steel grade SAWL 485 IF, 48" in diameter (1220 mm), thicknesses of 26.8 to 41 mm.
