What they do

Private design institute in Almaty working mainly on gas supply and pipeline transport facilities; according to the company, it has a branch in Atyrau and more than 140 employees. According to the company, it traces its history to the KazGiproGaz state design institute (1973), privatised in 1998 and renamed the Kazakh Institute of Oil and Gas Transportation in 2006; the present legal entity, judging by its business identification number, was registered in 2002, and in early 2022 its name was shortened to KITNG LLP.

The State bank of construction projects shows it in 2022–2025 as general designer of automatic gas distribution stations, gas pipelines, the external gas supply of a power plant and gas distribution networks of settlements, as well as of a feasibility study for the Pavlodar Petrochemical Plant; it also prepares environmental documentation for a trunk gas pipeline operator.

The base designs of trunk pipelines that the institute cites (the Kazakhstan–China gas and oil pipelines) date from the 2000s and are given according to the company. A notable share of its recent work is outside oil and gas: dredging at the port of Aktau, facilities of a uranium mine, and gasification of villages for regional and district clients.
