Background
It is connected to Gardabani-Navtlugi Gas Pipeline (at KP 486 km of Karadaghi-Tbilisi Gas Pipeline) by means of a D=300 mm, L=25 km Rustavi-Sagarejo section built in 2014 to ensure gas supply to the region by restoring a circular system (second supply point is entry to Vladikavkaz-Tbilisi section of the North Caucasus Transcaucasia Pipeline at KP 155.7 km with a D=300 mm, L=50.7 km section).[1]
The gas pipeline has several internal regional branches, the most important of which are as follows: Sagarejo Branch (with a point of entry at KP 25 km), Kiziki Branch (with a point of entry at KP 69.3 km), Kabala Branch (with a point of entry at KP 88.1 km), Kvareli Branch (with a point of entry at KP 107.8 km), Gulgula-Napareuli Branch (with a point of entry at KP 137.8 km), and Tianeti Branch (with a point of entry at KP 189.6 km). In turn, Kiziki Branch splits into two – Dedoplistskaro and Lagodekhi branches about at the 8 km off the point of entry.[1]
