Top entry ball valves in transport
Ten valves each weighing over 100 tonnes were engineered and manufactured in Italy for the Nord Stream consortium by Petrolvalves Srl. The valves will be installed in Germany and Russia at either end of the twin 1,224 kilometre natural gas pipeline.
The valves were engineered and manufactured by Italy’s Petrolvalves Srl, a leading supplier of industrial valves for the petroleum and petrochemical sectors.
The valves were extensively tested in Italy before being transported to Germany on trucks specially made for such high loads. Such large components can only be transported at night, and with a police escort. From Germany, six valves were transported to Vyborg, Russia by vessel.
Transport started near Milan in Castellanza where the valves were made, then east toward Venice and north through Austria and Germany. The transport took a week.
