The Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) has increased its operational reliability by more than 70% through advanced corrosion protection technologies, Yavuz Bozdoğan, Chief Maintenance Manager for the TANAP project, told Trend at the Asset Integrity & Corrosion and Coatings Conference in Baku.
Bozdoğan highlighted the use of Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) assessments, ACVG and DCVG monitoring, cathodic protection systems, and internal inspection tools to maintain pipeline integrity. “These technological solutions deliver a reliability improvement exceeding 70%,” he stated.
Given that pipelines are buried underground, these methods enable comprehensive Condition Monitoring Assessment (CMA), providing precise insights into the infrastructure’s condition. Bozdoğan emphasized that modern corrosion monitoring and protection technologies are essential for ensuring the safe, uninterrupted operation of TANAP’s critical infrastructure.
