One of the final stages in the construction of the Néstor Kirchner gas pipeline will take place on Friday 12: the last welding of the more than 50,000 pipes used for the infrastructure work. The gas pipeline will then become one single piece running from Tratayén, in Neuquén, to Salliqueló, in the south of Buenos Aires province. The last welding work was scheduled for May 15, but will in fact take place sooner, on this Friday 12. A project that construction sources say could have taken two years will in fact be finished in less than twelve months. Looking ahead, the gas pipeline is waiting for two compression plants to start functioning.
