When the plant is put into operation, it will be able to distribute up to 250 thousand cubic meters of gas per hour. "The pipelines are filled in immediately after the completion of pressing works," says Sultan Kaliakparov, a representative of StoryGaz Company LLP. - Places of welded joints are covered with special waterproof materials that are not afraid of corrosion. The pipeline itself will last 50 years."

The total cost of the gas project is more than nine billion tenge. According to the terms, its implementation provided for three years. However, the contractors intend to deliver the object in autumn.
