A Unique Project

TurkStream is a project which pushes industry boundaries from a technical perspective: TurkStream will be the first 32-inch sized system to be laid at depths of over 2 kilometers.

Designed for maximum safety

Each of the four offshore pipelines is made up of thousands of individual pipe joints of 12 meters in length. The pipes are produced in special mills and shipped to construction yards on the coats. The walls of the pipeline are made from 39 millimeters of high-quality carbon manganese steel and each joint to improve the mechanical characteristics of the pipe so that it can withstand the huge pressure. Pipes laid closer to the shore are coated in concrete for added stability and protection againts marine activities.

Pipelines are safe, convenient and efficient way to transport natural gas from source to destination. When fully operational, TurkStrem will offer a reliable energy supply for Turkey and the wider region by delivering 63 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually.

Pipes laid in shallow waters are coated with 5–8 centimeters of concrete for additional stability
