KazTransOil has completed the connection of rebuilt sections of the Martishi–Atyrau main oil pipeline at kilometres 11.2–11.4 and 20.5–20.7, where it crosses the A-27 Aktobe–Atyrau–Russian border (Astrakhan) republican highway, which is being reconstructed.
Because the road bypassing Akkystau crosses the operating pipeline, sections of the pipeline had to be technically rearranged. The work followed industrial safety requirements and standards for reliable operation.
Two pipeline sections, with a diameter of 530 mm and lengths of 238.86 and 287.2 metres, were built. Pipes with enhanced external anti-corrosion coating were used, and a steel protective casing was installed where the pipeline crosses the road.
