Inspection standards
Pipes for TurkStream have been subject to a three-level quality assurance system with the strictest inspection standards. Experts from TurkStream, the pipe production facilities and independent certification companies inspected each pipe during manufacturing. At the pipe laying stage, representatives from the responsible contractor and our own inspectors — monitored by certification company experts — checked each and every offshore weld.
