Transportation System
Each installation, explained.
The system is not just a single pipeline. It consists of stations, sections, and a control room that coordinates them remotely, 24 hours a day.
Quillota · 24/7
Control Room
From the Quillota Plant Gate, we supervise, control, and monitor the entire transportation system 24 hours a day to ensure that the natural gas supply remains uninterrupted. From here, we coordinate continuously with our customers’ control rooms.
Saint Bernard
Chena Station
It connects to the GasAndes pipeline to receive gas from Argentina or to deliver gas arriving from the Quintero regasification plant. It operates in both directions: GasAndes measures and controls the flow, while Electrogas monitors the pressures, which are supervised from the Quillota Control Room.
123 km
Main Line
A 30- and 24-inch pipeline network connecting the Chena Intake Station in San Bernardo, in the Metropolitan Region, with the Quillota Plant Gate in the Valparaíso Region.
Quintero
Quintero Reception Station
Starting point of the Quintero-Quillota gas pipeline, located within ENAP Refinerías’ Quintero Terminal. It receives regasified natural gas from the Quintero LNG facility and is equipped with a pressure-reducing station and a blow-off trap for pipeline cleaning and inspection equipment.

Integrity and Maintenance
Proactive measures to protect the pipeline.
We conduct outreach campaigns in the field to explain where our pipelines run and what risks people, property owners, and third parties face when working nearby. In addition, we monitor the right-of-way on the ground, from the air, and from the Control Room.
Field Campaigns
We visit property owners and neighbors to explain the risks of working near the pipeline.
Aerial Inspection
Weekly inspection flights using light aircraft and drones over the easement.
Signage and Pavers
We maintain the signage year-round and reinforce it with pavers in areas where construction is increasing.
24/7 Remote Control
SCADA and remote shut-off valves from the Control Room.
If you're going to dig near the right-of-way, call ahead.
You may not plant trees or deep-rooted shrubs, build structures, or clear paths on the right-of-way without first notifying Electrogas. If you plan to work nearby, request a site visit before you begin: we’ll provide on-site guidance.
