BAKU, Azerbaijan, Feb.2
By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
The ICGB AD, a project company for construction of the Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) will reduce the period between the handover and commissioning in order to meet the deadline, the project company told Trend.
“In order to achieve the set date for the start of commercial operation - July 2022, the project company ICGB is actively working on options for optimizing the deadlines for the remaining administrative and certification procedures. With the assistance of the relevant state institutions, this would reduce the period between the handover of the completed site by the Greek contractor and the commissioning of the pipeline, limiting the impact of delays under the EPC contract,” said the ICGB AD.
From the beginning of 2022, the acceptance tests (FAT) of the equipment for the process control system (SCADA) and the accompanying systems for communication, analysis and monitoring have been successfully conducted and integrated. All facilities that are part of the IGB pipeline will be managed and monitored automatically by shift operators thanks to a modern remote-control system.
