TAP Awards Offshore Construction Contract to Saipem SpA
April 14, 2016 + + + Trans Adriatic Pipeline AG (TAP) has awarded to
Saipem SpA the contract for Engineering, Procurement, Construction and
Installation (EPCI) for the offshore section of the project. TAP’s 36-inch
offshore pipeline across the Adriatic Sea – between the coastlines of
Albania and southern Italy – will be approximately 105 km in length, down
to approximately 820 meters below sea level at the deepest.
The
EPCI scope comprises associated civil works at the landfalls in both
Albania and Italy (including micro tunnel), offshore pipeline
installation, offshore fiber optic cable supply and installation, as well
as pre-commissioning and survey activities. The coated offshore 36-inch
line pipes, the anodes and the buckle arrestors will be provided by TAP.
Ian Bradshaw, Managing Director at TAP, said: “I want to congratulate
Saipem SpA for securing this important assignment and thank all the
companies that participated in this tender round. While offshore
construction raises specific challenges, Saipem SpA’s robust technical
bid, strong safety track record and experienced team of specialists
reassure us that works will be executed to the highest standards and
industry best practice.”
