the main About company Story Activities Documents Laboratory Contacts Joint Stock Company "ANTIKOR" Gas facilities in St. Petersburg are the oldest in Europe. In 1835, a joint stock company for gas lighting of the streets of St. Petersburg was created. At that time, gas was produced from coal at four gas factories in the city. This year is considered to be the year of foundation of the gas industry in St. Petersburg. By 1914 in St. Petersburg, the length of gas pipelines reached 500 kilometers, gas factories produced about 82 thousand cubic meters of gas per day and ensured the operation of 8813 gas lamps. A new stage in the development of the gas economy began in the 1930s, when the Lengaz trust was established, which united coke and gas plants, and thousands of city apartments were supplied with gas. During the Great Patriotic War, gas factories and networks were completely destroyed. In the postwar years, in record time, the specialists of the enterprise restored gas pipelines, and by the end of the 1940s, intensive gasification of industrial and municipal enterprises and residential buildings began. In 1957, with the commissioning of the main gas pipeline Serpukhov - Leningrad, natural gas began to flow into the city. Today natural gas is of key importance for the entire energy complex of St. Petersburg. Gas accounts for almost 97% of the city's fuel balance (the rest is fuel oil and coal). Gas supply system of St. Petersburg The gas industry of St. Petersburg today is the most complex urban engineering system in Russia. The gas supply system of St. Petersburg includes 5.5 thousand km of gas pipelines, of which more than 2.2 thousand km of street gas pipelines, including 450 km of high-pressure networks, 870 km of medium-pressure networks, 930 km of low-pressure networks and more 2.8 km of courtyard gas pipelines with all facilities on them. The daily consumption of natural gas in St. Petersburg is 42-45 million cubic meters. m (or 10 billion cubic meters per year). About 6,000 municipal and industrial enterprises in the city use natural gas as their main fuel. The main operational problem is that the gas supply system of St. Petersburg with natural gas was built over 50 years ago and requires daily high-quality maintenance. Here, more than ever, timely engineering solutions are important to ensure trouble-free and uninterrupted gas supply to the city. A distinctive feature of St. Petersburg is the presence of a large number of rivers and canals. The city operates about 140 siphon crossings of various diameters and lengths. For the purpose of safe operation, on the instructions of the enterprise, at least once every 5 years, diving surveys of the internal cavity of the siphons are carried out using a television camera, and, if necessary, the internal cavity of the pipes is cleaned from contamination. The city's gas supply security is ensured by 43 emergency teams located in all districts of the city (Service 04). The operating mode of the emergency service is round-the-clock acceptance of requests arriving at the console. The emergency dispatch service constantly receives operational information about malfunctions in the gas system, where the situation is objectively assessed and a decision is made. Emergency service specialists, equipped with modern special mechanisms and equipment, are able to eliminate gas leaks on a gas pipeline of any diameter in a short time. news ANNOUNCEMENT of holding the annual general meeting of shareholders of Antikor JSC REPORT on the results of voting at the annual general meeting of shareholders of Antikor JSC Address: 192019 St. Petersburg st.
