Pipeline facts and figures

Length of TAP – roughly the distance from Rome to Munich

Length of the Southern Gas Corridor gas value chain stretching from the Caspian Sea to Europe 

Width of the right of way cleared and reinstated – roughly the length of 1.5 tennis courts. In Italy and the Albanian mountains, the right of way was narrowed to 18 metres 

Power of each of the three compressors installed at TAP compressor stations. 15 MW is equivalent to the power of approximately 26 Formula 1 cars (nominal power) 

Pipeline diameter in Greece and Albania. The pipeline diameter offshore and in Italy is 36 inches (91 centimetres) 

TAP's highest elevation point in the mountains of Albania 

Deepest point beneath the Adriatic Sea 

Design capacity for future – the equivalent of heating about 20 million homes.

Pipeline wall thickness (depending on water depth) 

Length of access roads upgraded in Albania

Bridges constructed or refurbished in Albania, the length of which exceeds the Golden Gate bridge (1.6km) in San Francisco, USA. 

Pipes used – laid end to end, roughly the distance between Rome, Italy to Zurich, Switzerland.

The total number of pipeline welds in Greece, Albania, offshore and Italy  

Weight of steel pipes – equivalent to 71 Eiffel towers
