The consortium for the Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline (TANAP), which will ship Caspian natural gas from the Shah Deniz-2 field in Azerbaijan to Turkey's western border, has chosen a joint venture of Turkey's Limak and Indian Punj-Lloyd to construct a 459-kilometre section of the pipeline. The total length of the pipeline is 1,800 km.
According to a statement from TANAP, the joint venture will build the 48-inch Lot-4 line. It will start from Eskisehir, on Turkey’s western border, and at the Ipsala on the Turkish-Greek border.
Eleven firms were invited for the tender on 8 June 2015. The contracts with the winning joint venture were signed last week.
