Kalyon Holding’s Giant Pipeline Project in Romania Celebrates First Ceremony

Kalyon Holding Hosts Pipe Lowering Ceremony for Black Sea-Poshidor Natural Gas Pipeline

Today, Kalyon Holding, the winner of the tender for the construction of the Black Sea-Poshidor Natural Gas Pipeline in Romania, hosted a pipe lowering ceremony for the project. The Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz was also in attendance at the event.

The Black Sea-Poshidor Natural Gas Pipeline project, which was awarded to Kalyon Holding in 2020 after signing with SNTGN TRANSGAZ, began construction last June. The steel pipes for the project were supplied from Turkey, and the pipe lowering ceremony took place on April 26, 2024, with Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz commending the project as a significant achievement for Turkish contractors on the international stage.

Yılmaz praised the Turkish construction industry for its success in executing prestigious projects abroad, with Kalyon Holding’s involvement in the Podishor Natural Gas Pipeline project marking another milestone for the sector. The project, currently the largest pipeline project in Europe, was awarded to Kalyon Holding through a transparent and competitive tender process, showcasing the company’s technical expertise and experience in large-scale infrastructure projects.

Kalyon Holding has a track record of delivering sustainable energy projects, including Turkey’s first floating liquefied natural gas storage terminal and Europe’s largest solar power plant. With the Black Sea-Poshidor Natural Gas Pipeline, the company is set to contribute significantly to the energy infrastructure of Europe.

The construction of the natural gas pipeline, estimated to cost around 500 million Euros, will have an annual capacity of over 12 billion cubic meters, benefiting Romania and the European Union. The completion of the project will enhance Romania’s gas reserves and meet the growing energy demands of the EU and Romania.

Approximately 1,200 workers will be employed in the construction of the pipeline, further strengthening ties between Turkey and Romania. Turkish contracting companies have a strong presence in Romania, with numerous infrastructure projects completed in the country.

The Tuzla – Podishor Natural Gas Pipeline, with a total length of 308 kilometers, will play a key role in Europe’s energy security by connecting to the BRUA corridor. The project includes the supply of pipes, valve stations, energy supply, and fiber optic manufacturing, with a workforce of 1,200 people.

The Black Sea-Poshidor Natural Gas Pipeline is a crucial infrastructure project for Romania and the EU, aligning with the EU’s Common Benefit List Projects to enhance energy market integration and supply security. Kalyon Holding’s contribution of approximately 100,000 tons of steel pipes highlights the company’s commitment to the success of the project.

In conclusion, the Black Sea-Poshidor Natural Gas Pipeline project signifies a major milestone for Kalyon Holding and the Turkish construction industry, demonstrating their ability to deliver complex and sustainable energy infrastructure projects on the international stage.
