TAG Advantica

TAG/Advantica

TAG was established to deal with two distinct elements of the Corrib project. The first of these was to administer a thorough and independent Safety Review of the onshore, upstream section of the Corrib gas pipeline. The second was to put in place and administer an upgraded monitoring and inspection regime for the pipeline. Advantica, a UK consulting company was chosen, following a tender competition, to conduct the safety review. This document was published, following several rounds of public consultation, on 3rd May 2006.

Independent Review of Safety of Upstream Pipeline

The Minister has published three other documents on 3^rd May 2006. The first is a report from TAG to the Minister. The second is a report on inspection and monitoring issues, while the third is a short note which sets out in tabular form the recommendations of the Advantica Report, the TAG Report and TAG’s recommendations on inspection and monitoring, showing relationships where appropriate and identifying the parties responsible for their implementation.
