GEOPHYSICAL AND GEOTECHNICAL SURVEY - TAP PIPELINE
GEOSCIENCES
Client: TAP Consortium/Statoil
Location: Adriatic Sea, Albania and Italy
Scope of Work: The Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) consortium plans construction of an offshore
pipeline from Albania to mainland Italy. D’Appolonia performed all field investigations for the pipeline
landfalls. The survey required a wide array of vessels, from light geophysical crafts to self elevating
jack-up rigs and a dedicated CPT barge. Work included UXO clearance, geophysical surveys,
environmental baseline sampling, as well as an extensive geotechnical program. D’Appolonia also
provided all onboard and onshore laboratory testing and engineering services for the deepwater
section of the pipeline.
SOUTHSTREAM PIPELINE - SEISMIC AND GEOHAZARD ENGINEERING
D’Appolonia provides a full range of marine and terrestrial geoscience services. Our team provides all site characterization
required to mitigate project risks, to engineer remedial measures, and to carry out design of engineered facilities.
We deal with the existing site environment: the earth on which the facility will be based, the sea or air with which the
structure will interact, and external environmental events which may affect the project (earthquakes, landslides, floods,
windstorms,faults, tsunami etc.).
The main activities include:

Site investigations;
Geohazard assessments;
Geotechnical engineering;
Metocean & coastal engineering.
Geoscience input is required for all man-made structures, from offshore oil platforms and pipelines to mines,
ports, infrastructure, nuclear power plants and LNG terminals. Our team provides the basic data for design,
and carries forward special issues such as geotechnical engineering and monitoring.
At D’Appolonia we believe that a thorough understanding of geoscience issues is essential for the
success of any construction project. We gear our services to providing the Client the most up-todate technologies, whether collecting high quality soil samples in extreme water depth or quantifying
earthquake risk for a critical facility.
The quest for a complete understanding of site conditions has pushed D’Appolonia Geosciences
Teams to expand from the original base of geotechnical engineering into associated fields of
seismic hazard, soil dynamics, metocean modeling and quantitative risks assessment.
Client: IntecSea
Location: Black Sea
Scope of Work: After being involved in the pre-FEED phase of the project, D’Appolonia was
responsible for Geohazard Assessment and Slope Stability for the FEED contractor of the South
Stream Pipeline. Main activities were: definition of geotechnical onshore testing (including advanced

ASSET INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT (AIM+)
Asset Integrity Management outlines the ability of an asset to perform its required function effectively and efficiently to
reach the business objectives whilst safeguarding people, the environment and the Company reputation for the entire
lifecycle.
AIM+ (Asset Integrity Management Comprehensive Services) offered by D’Appolonia is an integrated package of
innovative and added-value engineering services. The techniques and tools adopted in Safety Engineering and
Reliability Engineering, traditionally applied as separate entities, are merged together to provide a comprehensive
approach where all studies are interdependent and focused at the same objective of ensuring a safe and productive
plant. Different studies such as RBI, RCM, SIL, Bow-Tie, RAM, HAZOP, FMEA and QRA are integrated to develop a
RISK BASED INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE PLAN.
D’Appolonia has also developed skills and competences in the design and implementation of ON-LINE
MONITORING systems, and in the relevant data management and processing. Then, the evolution of
external parameters resulting from the above mentioned inspection and monitoring activities, as well as
the parameters of the assets themselves, can be modelled and used as input to other models: this is an
ADVANCED DATA ANALYSIS, which allows predicting future performance of the assets and optimizing the
AIM planning.
The whole AIM+ process is supported by expertise in the field of DESIGN & MATERIAL ENGINEERING,
such as Process Re-Engineering, Life extension, Materials selection, Corrosion Assessment,
Cathodic Protection, Failure Analysis and Fitness for Service. Thanks to its specific competences
and experience, D’Appolonia is also capable to integrate the AIM+ package with the following

BASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM and LOSS ANALYSIS AND RISK TRANSFER, which is an estimate
of the probability of monetary losses to the asset, design of loss prevention measures and
possible decision of risk transfer to the insurance industry.
Finally, the AIM+ approach may lead to implement a BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN through
the identification of critical business functions and related impacts resulting from their
disruption, prioritization of critical business functions and recovery strategies definition.
