Technical and licensing support services for the Pipeline Integrity and Safety Model Software (PIMS)

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.

Purchase of a biogas connection point (design and works) in the village of Vytarai, Pasvalio Raj.

Elsis TS has signed a subcontract with Dujotiekio statyba UAB for the installation of process control and automation (SCADA) and electrical works and related services in the framework of the project „Purchase of works for the installation of a biogas connection point in Vytaru village, Pasvalys district”.

This is the first project of its kind in Lithuania, as the rapidly rising prices of energy resources are increasing the interest of market players to invest in biogas production by building biomethane power plants and connecting them to the gas transmission network operated by Amber Grid AB, thus supplying the biomethane produced in this way to the local and foreign market.

Biogas energy produced from food waste, manure or agricultural residues is part of the circular economy and is considered one of the most advanced forms of renewable energy and is being actively developed in many European countries.

The project will contribute to the development of the internal energy market and energy security and will increase the reliability of the main gas pipeline networks operated by Amber Grid AB.

The works are scheduled to be completed by 1 June 2023.

Reconstruction works for the replacement of main gas pipeline shut-off devices and connection to the remote control system SCADA

Elsis TS has signed a subcontract agreement with Šiaulių dujotiekio statybą UAB, which has won the tender „Reconstruction works for the replacement of the shut-off devices of the trunk gas pipelines and connection to the remote control system SCADA” announced by Amber Grid AB.

This project will be implemented in four phases, during which control device start-up and reception chambers will be installed in different branches of the trunk gas pipeline and operational technological control of the system will be implemented.

Elsis TS will carry out the installation, connection and programming of the remote control system SCADA, automation and control system, SCADA equipment under this contract.

Successful implementation of the project by introducing advanced infrastructure elements will allow to modernise the gas transmission system managed by Amber Grid AB and will increase the security and reliability of the natural gas transmission system.

The works are scheduled to be completed by 30 May 2023.

Installation of a gas pressure relief unit at the Marijampolė gas distribution station (GDS)

Elsis TS has signed a subcontract agreement with Alvora UAB, which has won the tender „Installation of the gas pressure limitation unit at the Marijampolė Gas Distribution Station (hereinafter – GDS)”, announced by Amber Grid AB.

The project will include the installation of a gas pressure relief unit at the beginning of the main gas pipeline branch to the Marijampolė DSS, as well as the installation of a remote control system (SCADA) that will monitor and control the gas pressure relief unit system.

Elsis TS UAB will carry out the installation, connection and programming of the electrical engineering, earthing and lightning protection, automation and control system, SCADA equipment during the execution of this contract.

The project will modernise the natural gas transmission system of Amber Grid AB using smart technologies and will increase the safety and reliability of the natural gas transmission system for the residents of the municipalities of Vilkaviškis district and Marijampolė.

The works are planned to be completed by 30 June 2023.
