ABSTRACT: 

Public utility networks are one of the most important pillars of development upon which investments can be made to help improve the quality of life in a community. Natural gas networks play a crucial role as means of energy delivery and nationwide coverage is a technical project of utmost importance. The goal of the present study is to assess the risk management strategy that is adopted, in the case of natural gas networks construction. A comparison is presented, where the funding source is examined as a parameter. In the first case, the company is the owner of the project (concessionaire) and has undertaken the distribution of Natural Gas (NG) in a specific area, as well as the management of the network that has been built. In the second case, the company is a contractor and, after having put down the most lucrative offer, undertakes the construction of a NG network, in a specific area.
