Three more Performer GPL 980 pipelayers operating in Georgia: the best pictures

The pipelaying machines – able to lift up to 98,000 kg and guarantee continuous workflow 24/7 even in the event of malfunctioning of one of the components which can be dismantled – are used in the TANAP Project, the mega-gas pipeline that will transport energy through five different countries: Albania, Greece, Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
