ALGIERS, May 20 (RIA Novosti) - Russian pipeline company Stroitransgaz is participating in three tenders to build and mend gas pipelines in Algeria, the company's vice president said Saturday.
Leonid Bokhanovsky said at a meeting of a Russian-Algerian business council that Stroitransgaz had filed draft proposals for implementation of three projects, including repairs of the GK-1 pipeline, construction of a 122-km land section of the Medgaz-3 pipeline, to run via Algeria to Spain, and construction of a second branch of the GEM pipeline, to run via Tunisia to Italy.
Stroitransgaz earlier built the GZ-2 oil pipeline in Algeria, and is now building another gas pipeline in the country, with an estimated cost of $266 million.
