Oil pipelines have reached the finals of the engineering CASE-IN championship

A team of young specialists from Transneft North successfully participated in the qualifying stage of the League of Young Specialists of the XIII International Engineering CASE-IN Championship.

Ten qualifying rounds will be held during the championship. More than eighty teams, each consisting of four people, will take part in them. Twenty teams will advance to the finals of the competition.
