The maximum value of the planned work will stand at 15.9 mln euros

which is necessary to identify their state as so far the state of part of the
pipelines has been checked using the empirical method. (…) After the
installation of this equipment, we will be able to launch special calculating
devices to check the state of pipelines' walls and see if they are safe or
not," Danas Janulionis, head of strategic planning and
communication at Amber Grid, told.
In his words, the project will be implemented across Lithuania and the
work will take around three years.
