BOTAS Petroleum Pipeline Company -­‐ BTC Project Directorate Technical Integrity Assurance Program
UniversalPegasus was retained by BOTAS to assist with the development and execution of the Technical Integrity
Assurance Program (TIP) during the land acquisition and construction phase of the Baku-­‐Tbilisi-­‐Ceyhan Pipeline (BTC) crude oil pipeline project. This was the first proactive pipeline integrity program to be implemented prior to commissioning or operating of a pipeline. UniversalPegasus provided a team of experts in various disciplines from engineers to geologist and environmental specialists to examine the design and construction of the project as it was being performed. The TIP program took a cross section of the project through sampling of the works based upon criticality criteria. The samples were examined and determined either to be acceptable from a technical integrity standpoint or identified as requiring remedial action. This program identified areas of critical concern, provided methods to solve the identified issues and tracked the resolution of each item. The successful resolution of the technical issues raised in the program yielded a reasonable assurance that the BTC pipeline was technically sound, safe for operation and met the integrity requirements of the lump sum turnkey agreement signed by BOTAS. This program was completed prior to the line fill and subsequent loading of the first tanker from the Ceyhan marine terminal.
