Call before you dig
Non-authorised works performed in Trans Adriatic Pipeline’s restricted ownership zone or near pipeline facilities may compromise the safety of pipeline operations. Do not underestimate any incident. Please report promptly.
Before you dig or begin activities in TAP’s restricted ownership zone, which is defined as a 4-metre area on either side of the pipeline (4 + 4, 8m in total), call:
- +30 213 010 4500 for Greece
- +355 69 609 8188 for Albania
- 800 484 484 for Italy
You need to contact TAP for consent at least four weeks before undertaking any works near the pipeline or its facilities.
We will check whether the pipeline runs through your property or area of planned works.
You need to tell us:
- the nature of the intended works
- the grid reference, coordinate position or the cadastral number of the affected parcel
- a location plan of the intended works
- the proposed start date of the intended works
- your contact details.
A signed crossing agreement may be required for certain planned works crossing the pipeline’s restricted ownership zone. This applies to infrastructure projects that cross the pipeline, e.g. road, motorway, railway, another pipeline or other crossing infrastructure projects.
All third parties must contact TAP to request the support of a line locator, at least two weeks before starting any works. TAP will ensure that assets are properly identified and marked to safeguard company facilities, employees, the public and the environment. Only competent and trained persons may undertake line-marking activities.
If you witness damage or removal of marker posts call the numbers included above (standard rates) Monday to Friday, between 09:00 and 17:00.
