The greatest depth the pipeline is to be laid is 820 metres. The first pre-qualification is for engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) works for the offshore section of the 36-inch pipeline between the coastlines of Albania and southern Italy.
Knut Steinar Kvindesland, procurement director at TAP, said, “I am delighted to invite companies – including those from TAP’s host countries – to submit expressions of interest in line with the pre-qualification documentation now available on TED.”
“The selection of potential suppliers will remain rigorous, with particular emphasis on meeting Health, Safety and Environment standards and a proven commitment to TAP’s zero harm policy.” As per the document, the EPCI scope of work would feature related landfall civil works at the landfalls in Albania and also Italy, along with survey, seabed and pre-commissioning activities. The second pre-qualification process includes supply of offshore line pipes and coating, as per which the scope of work would be divided into three lots.
