In addition to this, Budimex will build a 33km-long gas pipeline between the cities of Czeszow and Kielczów, as well as all ancillary systems, for the company Gaz-System. Construction will run for 19 months. This project is part of a larger gas pipeline which will deliver gas to the province of Lower Silesia, and is cofinanced with European funds.
