TANAP corridor starts at the Georgia/Turkey border in Türkgözü/Posof/Ardahan where it connects to the Southern Caucasus Natural Gas Pipeline (SCP); ends at the Turkey/Greece border in İpsala/Edirne where it will feed TAP Pipeline. There are two off-take stations in Turkey, one in Eskişehir and one in Thrace, so as to ensure a connection to Turkey's natural gas distribution network.
TANAP (Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline Project) planned to be realized is a pipeline system which is 1,805 km long in total and measures 56 inches by 48 inches. It will initially transmit 16 billion m³ natural gas in necessary specifications and quantity, then this capacity will be gradually increased to annual 31 billion m³. 6 billion m³ gas will be annually distributed through the off-take stations to the consumers in Turkey under the scope of Gas Transmission Agreement.
Total length of pipe: 513 km Pipe diameter: 56; Nominal capacity: 31 billion m³ annually in the event of high flow Design Pressure: 95,5 barg Total length of Fiber Optic Cable Channel to Be Installed: 2 x 513 km Pig Launching and Receiving Station: 2 Block Valve Stations: 14 the number of the provinces/districts/villages in the route of the Pipeline in compliance with ASME B31.8, 2012: 6 provinces/ 21 districts/ 146 villages are in the route. Total Number of Infrastructure and Superstructure that Cross: 1631 Total Number of Roads that Cross: 814 Total Number of Rivers that Cross: 548 Total Number of HDD Rivers that Cross: 2 (655m/657m) Total Excavation Quantity: 6,6 million m³.
