1. INTRODUCTION

The Trans Adriatic Pipeline will transport gas from the Turkish-Greek border via Greece and Albania across the Adriatic Sea
to Italy.
The project is aimed at enhancing security of supply as well as diversification of gas supplies for the European markets. TAP
will open a new so-called Southern Gas Corridor to Europe and market outlet for natural gas from the Caspian Sea and
Middle East regions and is designed to expand transportation capacity from 10 to 20 BCM per year depending on stage of the
Project.
To achieve this aim the gas transported through the pipeline has to be pressurised at several locations. For this first 10
BCMY- case two compressor stations are required, one in Kipoi (GCS00 - Greece) and one at Fier, close to the Albanian
landfall (ACS03 - Albania). Additionally at the Greece/Albanian border a metering station has to be installed (ACS02).
For the 20 BCMY-case two additional compressor stations have to be installed, on in the area of Serres (GCS01) and one at
the Greece/Albanian border (ACS02).
The pipeline ends at a pipeline receiving terminal (PRT - IPR01) in Puglia (Italy) where the gas is tied in into the Snam Rete
Gas (SRG) Network.

The TAP system will be remote-controlled from the supervisory control centre located at the PRT in Italy. The SCADA
system will be designed to ensure safe operation, control and monitoring of the pipeline system. For data transmission, a ring
of fibre-optic cables to be laid along the whole pipeline route will be used.

The construction of the Compressor Station ACS03 will be executed by Joint Venture called JV Renco S.P.A. and Terna
S.A. (the Contractor) with international experience in such projects.
The building and construction industry as a whole has an unacceptably high accident rate and workers involved
in handling and erecting steelwork are in the group which suffers one of the highest serious injury rates in the
industry. The majority of the accidents are as a result of falls from heights. In addition, many serious accidents
occur due to the workers being struck by falling materials.

This procedure establishes the safety measures for erecting steel structures and ensuring compliance with the
requirements of HSE management plan.

Also it is to assist in the assessment of risks and the identification of various control measures so that risks
can be eliminated, avoided or reduced by practical measures, and not by placing sole reliance on the skill of
workers

2. PURPOSE

This procedure is to be used by the members of ETI/APM Project Management Team, Supervisors and
Subcontractors who supervise and control steel structures activities in the whole of the Project.

3. SCOPE

This procedure is to be used by the members of ETI/APM Project Management Team, Supervisors and
Subcontractors who supervise and control steel structures activities in the whole of the Project.
