As submarine gas pipelines get longer and more remote the challenge of pre-commissioning becomes greater. No project demonstrates this better than the ground breaking Nord Stream project comprising 1,224 km x 48” twin gas transmission submarine pipelines running from Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea - a delicate marine environment to be protected and preserved. In September 2011 the pre-commissioning of Nord Stream Line 1 was completed ahead of schedule. This paper will discuss the challenges experienced during the planning, engineering and preparation for the pre-commissioning of the first Line and the relevant field experience collected during its execution, focusing on:
- Impact of the environmental conditions and regulations on methodologies and equipment (selection of chemicals, soundproofing of equipment, water disposal concepts)
