TAP AG Announces Final Contracts for Pipeline Construction

Trans Adriatic Pipeline AG (TAP) invited companies to pre-qualify for the supply and delivery of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system and fibre optic cable. 

‘These are the final large package contracts to be awarded by TAP for project construction as company provided items’ read a note released on Monday.

TAP aims to issue the related Invitations to Tender (ITT) by the end of 2015. The contracts are expected to be awarded mid-2016. 

“With the launch of these final pre-qualification notices, TAP reaches another important milestone in its procurement process. Together, the SCADA and fibre optic cable facilitate the control system which enables pipeline operations to be safely and effectively monitored and controlled. TAP’s selection process remains transparent, rigorous and with a particular emphasis on meeting health, safety, security, environmental and social standards” Norman Ingram, Project Director at TAP, commented. 

In July, TAP announced the start of construction and rehabilitation work on access roads and bridges along the pipeline’s route in Albania.
