TAP Awards Contract to Corinth Pipeworks for Onshore Line Pipe in Greece

The Trans Adriatic Pipeline consortium has awarded a contract to Corinth Pipeworks to provide approximately 495km of 48” diameter line pipes for the pipeline, which will run across Greece.

The Viotia-headquartered company will be the major supplier of line pipe required for TAP in Greece.

“We are pleased to be working with Corinth Pipeworks S.A. for this important contract," Ian Bradshaw, Managing Director at TAP, commented in a statement released on Friday. "I would like to congratulate Corinth Pipeworks S.A. and its partner Marubeni Itochu Steel inc. for submitting a robust bid, to the highest industry standards.”  

The contract announced on Friday is the fourth major contract awarded this year by TAP.

The 878 km long pipeline will connect with the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) at the Turkish-Greek border at Kipoi, cross Greece and Albania and the Adriatic Sea, before coming ashore in Southern Italy. 

TAP is part of the so-called Southern Gas Corridor, which will transport natural gas from the giant Shah Deniz II field in Azerbaijan to Europe.
