03-11-2022. Elsis TS has signed a contract with Amber Grid AB for the provision of technical and licensing support services for the „Software and model for gas pipeline safety and integrity (PIMS)” for a period of 3 years.

Amber Grid AB is the Lithuanian natural gas transmission system operator, responsible for the transmission of natural gas (transport via high pressure pipelines) to system users, the operation, maintenance and development of natural gas infrastructure.

PiMS software, developed by Associated Technology Pipeline limited (ATP), a British company, is an innovative, graphical, multi-user software for use in ensuring the safety and integrity of gas pipelines. Pipeline data such as equipment and pipeline information, users, geographic and environmental data are integrated and processed in the PiMS software. The calculations provide important information on the integrity of the trunk pipelines, which is used to make important management decisions on pipeline maintenance, inspection strategies and investments in repair and replacement.

The implementation of the Contract will contribute to the safety and reliability of the natural gas transmission system operated by Amber Grid AB and will increase the efficiency of the maintenance and repair work on the main gas pipelines.

PIMS technical and licensing support services will be provided until 30 June 2025.
