The Trans Adriatic Pipeline will have a total length of about 520 kilometers, including 115 kilometers offshore, on the Adriatic Sea bed. TAP’s highest elevation point will be 1800 meters in Albania’s mountains, while its lowest part offshore will be at 820 meters of depth.

The onshore part of the pipeline will have a diameter of 48 inches (1.2 meters), designed for a gas-flow pressure of 100 Bar, while the diameter of its offshore segment will be 42 inches (1.05 meters.)

The thickness of the steel pipe wall will be typical 18 millimeters for the onshore part, with 25-36 millimeters for the offshore part. The pipeline's total weight will be approximately 300 000 metric tons, or 600 kilo per meter pipe in average.
