INTRODUCTION

1.1

This document outlines the design requirements & provides information pertinent to mechanical
engineering work, including process & piping. These criteria shall be read in conjunction with project
specifications, data sheets and standards attached elsewhere in the bid package.

1.2

The salient features of the project are:


Pipeline from Hanuman Junction to CMS at VCL:-

i) Hot Tap Off point is considered at Hanuman Junction point (Chainage 154 Km) on Tatipaka-Lanco
pipeline (18 X 204 Km).
ii) Laying of 8 X 45 Km (approx) long pipeline from Hanuman Junction (Tap off point) to VCL where
Check Metering Station(CMS) is proposed.CMS will consist of 2-Stage Pressure Reduction system,
and metering skid (PRMS) including scrubber, Wet Gas and Dry Gas filters & Gas Chromatograph,
PRV with necessary relief valves, and associated piping.
iii) Provision of pig launcher/receiver facilities at Hanuman Junction (Dispatch Station) and CMS at VCL
has been envisaged (Receiving Station).
iv) 6 spare tap-off at Hanuman Junction (Dispatch station) has been considered.
v) 2 Numbers Sectionalizing valve stations (SVs) are proposed along 8 45 Km pipeline.
vi) Station works including Piping, Civil, Mechanical, Instrumentation, fire fighting and all associated jobs
at Hanuman Junction, SV stations and Receiving station ( VCL ). In addition SCADA, Telecom at SV1
and CMS (at VCL) is considered.
vii) Condensate recovery, storage & handling system has been envisaged at CMS (Receiving Station).
An underground Condensate storage tank of working capacity of 10 KL has been envisaged to store
the condensate obtained from manual draining of Gas Scrubber and wet gas filters. The loading of
condensate in tanker shall be carried out by motor driven pumps. The peak condensate recovery is
expected to be 1.5KL/day at CMS.
viii) 6 tap-off for connectivity to customers from first stage PRMS at VCL (Receiving Station) has been
considered.
ix) Battery limit is from 8 hot Tap off with one ball valve at CH-154 at Hanuman Junction on Tatipaka
Lanco Pipeline. The other side of the battery limit is 8 inlet flange of Gas scrubber of pressure
reduction and metering skid at CMS. Refer respective P & Ids.
x) Condensate storage tank and handling system at CMS shall be hooked up with the metering skid as
indicated in P & Id.

Applicable Notes to Table-I


1.

Branch welds shall consist of the welds between the pipe & reinforcing element (if any), nozzles &
reinforcing element and the pipe & nozzle under the reinforcing element. Reinforcing element to be
interpreted as pads, saddles, weldolets, sockolets etc.

2.

Seal welds of threaded joints shall be given the same examination as socket welds.

3.

Unless specifically stated, all materials shall be for Non-IBR service.

4.

Magnetic Particle & the Liquid Penetrant method of examination shall be in accordance with Section V of
the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Article VII and VI respectively. The entire area of the
accessible finished weld surface shall be examined. Selected root runs, subject to a maximum of 10%,
before finished weld, may also be examined, at the discretion of the engineer-in-charge.
a) Wherever MP / LP testing is specified, either MP or LP test may be used. But wherever only MP
test is specified, LP method of examination may be used only if MP examination is impracticable
in the field as concurred by site-in charge.

b) Random 10% of Liquid Penetrant / Magnetic Particle test shall mean testing, by applicable test,
one weld for each ten welds or less made by the same welding procedure or operator or both.
Similarly Random 20% shall mean testing, by applicable test, one weld for each five welds or
less made by the same welding procedure or operator or both.
c) When Liquid Penetrant examination is specified, the surface shall be free of peened
discontinuities. Abrasive blast cleaning shall be followed by light surface grinding prior to Liquid
Penetrant examination.
d) Inspection shall be performed in the welds excluding those for which radiography has been done.
5.

Radiography:
a) Random 10% or 20% radiography shall mean examining not less than one from each 10 welds
or less in case of Random 10% radiography or one from each five welds or less in case of
Random 20% radiography made by the same welding procedure or welder or both. Irrespective
of percentage, no. of welds to be radiographed shall be minimum 1. However first two welds
made by each welder shall also be radiographed in case of Random radiography. Welds
selected for examination shall not include flange welds and shall be radiographed for their entire
length. However, where it is impossible or impracticable to examine the entire weld length of field
welds for either random or 100% radiography, and if the same impossibility is agreeable to sitein- charge, then a single 120 deg. exposure of the weld length may be given a Magnetic Particle
test or Liquid Penetrant test. However in such cases for ferro-magnetic materials, only MP test
shall be acceptable for classes higher than 600#.
b) In-process examination shall not be substituted for any required radiographic examination.
c) Number of radiographs per one circumferential weld shall be as per ASME Sec.V Articles 2 and
22.

6.

When radiography or other non destructive inspection is specified, acceptance criteria for repairs or
defects shall be as follows:
a) In case of 100% examination, any unacceptable weld shall be repaired and reinspected.
b) If required random examination reveals a defect requiring repair, then:
b.1
Two additional examinations of same type shall be made of the same kind of item (if
welded joint, then by the same welding procedure or operator or both).
b.2
If the group of items examined as required by b.1 above is acceptable, the items
requiring repair shall be repaired or replaced and reexamined as required and all items
represented by this additional examination shall be accepted.
b.3
If any of the items examined as required by b.1 above reveals a defect requiring repair,
two further comparable items shall be examined for each defective item found by
examination.
b.4
If all the items examined as required by b.3 are acceptable, the items requiring repair
shall be repaired or replaced and reexamined as required, and all items represented by
this further examination shall be accepted.
b.5
Number of times repair welding could be done for the same weld before acceptance
shall be as follows:
Material
C.S. upto 300 #
C.S.above300#
Killed steel

No. of times repair welding is allowed


3 or less
2 or less
2 or less

b.6

Welds not found acceptable for allowed number of times of repair as per b.5 above shall
be replaced and reexamined.

b.7

If any of the items examined as required by b.4 above reveals a defect requiring repair,
all items represented by these examinations shall be either:
- repaired or replaced and reexamined as required.
- fully examined and repaired or replaced as necessary, and reexamined as necessary.

PREPARATION OF THE SURFACES

7.1

General Specifications
The cases that occur in practice on building sites, with regard to painted surfaces, can be broken down
as follows:
x

Material of which the oxide content disappears by natural oxidation.

Material that has already been covered with a layer of paint in the workshop.

Material that is covered with old paint layers that show different degrees of weathering.

Good preparation oldie surface is the best guarantee for good anti-corrosion protection.
Paintwork may never begin until the surface to be treated is dry and is independent of the base coat and
cleared of dirt, dust, rust, scale, grease, salt attack, cement powder, cement mud-scale, sand, oil, etc.
Based on the environmental conditions of coastal and saline nature, the Painting specification for station
pipes defines the complete requirements like:

Color Codes for piping


Paint materials types and their DFT measurement.
Selection and application of paints on external surfaces.

The pipeline passes through the coastal and marine environment, the Table-4 of this specification to be
followed for the painting works.
The method of preparation of the surface will be implemented in accordance with the preparation
methods described below:
x

Cleaning (bright blast-cleaning);

Mechanical cleaning;

Manual derusting.

The Contractor should have the required material at his disposal to clean the surfaces to be coated
thoroughly in accordance with the preparation methods regardless of the form or the condition of such
surfaces. The cleaning devices that might be damaged during the surface preparation shall be screened
off by the Contractor.
7.2

Sandblasting
Before beginning cleaning by blasting, the person carrying out the work will take the following measures:
x

Clear the steel surface of oil and/or grease;

Ensure that each flange collar (section where the sealing is applied) is properly screened off
against the blasting and the subsequent works;

Check that no blasting grains can act into the pipes during this process. Any openings not
sealed off must be screened off;

Where there are valves, regulators and other devices, the manufacturer's identification plate will
be dismantled so that all surfaces can be treated. The plate will then be put back again.

Screen off all non-metal structures such as rubber where there is a filter;

With valves, operators and other devices, care should be taken to ensure that no metal filings or
paint get into the apparatus:

The OWNER reserves the right to carry out part or all of these works himself.

To prevent rust forming quickly as the result of humidity on the blasted surface, cleaning by blasting may
only be carried out when the temperature of the steel surface is at least 3C higher than the dew-point of
the ambient air.
Blasting may not be carried out if the relative degree of humidity exceeds 80%. The choice of the type of
blasting medium used depends on local circumstances such as the possible presence of gas and the
material to be blasted.
The abrasive to be used must conform to the local low i.e. it may contain no carbon and less than 1%
free silicon dioxide. The Sa 3 will always be requested and must at least reach Sa 2 during the initial
stage of the paintwork. For blasting followed by metallisation, the surface preparation degree to be
achieved is always Sa 3. The degree of cleanliness to be obtained will be inspected in accordance with
the Swedish standard SVENSK STANDARD ISO 8501-1-1988 SS 05.5900.
x

Sa 3: surface blasted down to the bare metal; when the surface is inspected with a magnifying
glass, scale, rust and foreign bodies must be completely removed and it should be possible to
raise a metallic -shine on the treated surface.

SHEET 7 of 27
182 of 245

Sa 2 1/2: blasted very carefully. Scale, rust and foreign bodies must be removed in such a way
that anything left behind will only be visible as nuances (shading) or strips.

The blast-cleaning will be carried out by means of compressed air free of water and oil.
After the blasting and before painting, the surface should be completely cleaned of blasting material and
so forth with a soft brush, a dry cloth or dry compressed air.
7.3

Mechanical cleaning
If sandblasting is not permitted or if the metal structures are not easily accessible for blasting or blasting
for one reason or another is technically unfeasible, mechanical derusting can be used instead. With
mechanical cleaning by means of chipping, rotating steel brushes and sanding discs, a degree of
cleanliness St. 3 should be reached.
St 3: removal of the old paint layers of which the adhesion leaves something to be desired and/or of
which the paint layer no longer fulfils the requirements.
If parts are present that are so corroded that St 3 is difficult to achieve, this should be notified to the
OWNER representative prior to the start of the works.

N.B:
St. 3 : means removal of every old paint layer. Retouching means local polishing with St. 3 or Sa 3
followed by application of the desired painting system.
After mechanical cleaning, the surface should be made dust-flee with a cloth or a so brush, washed with
an organic solvent and thoroughly dried off with a dry cloth (e.g. with 1.1.1. Trichoroethane such as
Solvethane, Chloroethene).
7.4

Manual Derusting
Manual derusting with the aid of scrapers. steel brushes, sandpaper etc. shall only be permitted in
exceptional cases for local repairs. Any deviation there from must be requested from the OWNER/
OWNERs Representative.
With manual derusting, a surface preparation degree St 3 must be obtained. The length of the handles
of the equipment used may not exceed 50 cm.

7.5

Preparation of a surface covered with a layer of paint in the workshop.


This layer is in general applied by the manufacturer, for example, on valves, regulators etc. Layers of
this kind will be checked for their proper adhesion in accordance with ASTM D 3359, method A
(Standard Test Method for measuring adhesion by tape test). The adhesion should be at least .
If the paint layer shows less adhesion or is incompatible with the rest of the system it should be
completely removed. If the paint layer is not removed, the Contractor accepts it in the state in which the
coating is found and the guarantee remains in force. The adhesion does not have to be examined if
system 63 has already been applied in the workshop on behalf of the OWNER.
The Contractor, who must provide for the protection on the construction site, must therefore obtain the
information regarding the treatment of the surface and the quality of the paint that was used and must,
moreover, examine the adhesion of the layer on the construction site, the percentage of damage and
weathering as well as the value of the preparation of the surface in the workshop together with the
thickness thereof that must be supplemented if necessary.

a)

Galvanized surface
Galvanized surfaces, both old and new will be carefully roughened up. Every foreign body
(concrete splatters, chalk marks, grease and oil stains, etc.) will be removed. Thereafter, rub the
surfaces with abundant water and, if necessary, with cleaning products.
To this end, nylon brushes will be used for every kind of dirt as well as for removing zinc salt
residue. Thereafter, the surfaces will be treated in accordance with system 21. Where the zinc
layer is lacking, it will be derusted manually to a degree of cleanliness St 3, after which a primer
coat will be applied in accordance with system 22.

b)

Metallised surfaces treated with an impregnation layer

degrease with the desired degreasing product:

clean under high pressure or with a product prescribed by the paint supplier.

If the paint layer adheres well and is applied on a clean base, the painting system described may be
continued. If the percentage of damage and weathering does not exceed 5 % m. retouching may be
considered. These partial repairs will be carried out.
If on the other hand, the percentage of damage does exceed 5 %/m or if the layer applied in the
workshop comes loose the Contractor must draw the attention of the OWNER to this and carry out the
complete application system.
7.6

Preparation of surfaces covered with earlier paint layers that show different degrees of weathering.
If the surfaces do not show deep weathering limited to the spread of rust by small pitted areas or nonpenetrative rust in spots, it will very often be sufficient to clean the surfaces with abrasives or with an
abrasive disc, then to rub them down with steel wool, remove the dust and wash off. If thick rust
appears, in spots, scale rust and active rust canker, this should be removed with needle hammers or
stripped away directly by blasting, removing the dust and washing oft.

7.7

Preparation of concrete or cement plaster surfaces


Remove unsound paint layers and loose components with scrapers, blades or rotating steel brushes.
Thoroughly clean the entire surface with water containing ammonia. Thoroughly remove moss, algae
and fungal growths. Where these growths have been removed, treat the area with a fungicide in
accordance with the instructions for use.
Once the entire area is completely dry, brush off the dead residue of moss, algae and fungus with a hard
brush. In the case of reinforcement steel that has been laid bare, remove as rust, dust and grease as
possible and treat with a printer coat. When painting concrete surfaces, they must first be checked for
cracks. Cracks larger than 0.3 mm must be repaired with an appropriate system in accordance with the
type and extent of the repairs (e.g. injection with epoxy mortar). Repair damage such as cracks and
bursts to concrete parts with a two-component mortar or preferably with micro-mortars. Finally check the
alkalinity of the surface with the aid of litmus paper and neutralize it if necessary.

7.8

Use of solvents
It is sometimes necessary to use solvents when the surfaces to be painted are streaked with grease or
oil. In this case a suitable organic solvent should be applied. The operation should be carried out with
the aid of clean brushes or rags and clean solvent.
All the legal specifications in connection with solvents etc. must be adhered to. The OWNER/OWNER's
Representative will be informed in advance of any toxicity or flammability. All measures must be taken to
prevent any risk of fire and to nick out any possibility of poisoning (ventilation). The Contractor will
provide drip collectors to keep the environment free of pollution.

Removing coating from surface pipelines
The Contractor must have the equipment necessary for the removal of asphalt from the pipe without
damaging the latter (scratching, impact, etc,). The Contractor undertakes to carry out the work in
accordance with an approved procedure.

8.0

METALLISATION

8.1

Applying the metallisation


Metallisation must be carried out in accordance with ISO 2063,
Metallisation is carried out as rapidly as possible after blasting in order to limit corrosion of the pipes
(max. 3 hours later). With metallisation, a surface preparation degree Sa 3 is compulsory. The
roughness of the blasted surfaces should be from 25 to 50 R Max.
x

The metallising is always carried out on dry parts in good weather conditions (maximum relative
humidity 80 %);

For metallisation, a wire composed of 85 % zinc and 15 % aluminum with a minimum


guaranteed degree of purity of 99.5 % is used (subject to other specifications). The application
thereof is always carried out in accordance with the conditions of the manufacturer and may at
all times be submitted to the OWNERs representative.

The sealant should be applied maximum 3 hours alter metallisation.

The sealant must be thinned and applied as per the present specifications. A visual inspection
whereby the sealant completely covers the metallisation will suffice here.

When evaluating the metallisation, a negative deviation from the minimum coating thickness, to
80 for 20% of the measurements will be permitted.

9.0

CARRYING OUT THE PAINTWORK

9.1

Conditions for carrying out paintwork


Painting may not be carried out in unsuitable conditions.
All preparatory work and painting may only he carried out in dry weather and at a minimum temperature
of 10C, except for special eases requested by the OWNER's Representative.
Unless otherwise stipulated in the specifications of the paint supplier, application of the paint is forbidden
if it is forecast that the temperature will fall to below 0C before the paint is dry. The temperature of-the
surface to be painted must be at least 3C higher than the dew point of the ambient air. Application of
the paint is also not permitted if there is a danger that the coat of paint will not be dry before dew or
condensation sets in.
The work must be stopped:

If the temperature of the surface to be painted is higher than that described by the supplier.

In rain, snow, mist or fog or when the relative humidity is higher than 80 %.

Coats that have not yet dried and have been exposed to frost, mist, snow or rain and might thereby be
damaged must be removed after drying and the surfaces must be repainted at the expense of the
Contractor.
Working in direct sunlight or in hot weather must be avoided,
The first coat of paint must be applied maximum 3 hours after the preparation of the surface of the
relative humidity of the air is between 50% and 80%. This time span may be increased to 6 hours if the
relative humidity is less than 50%. In all cases, the preparation of the surface must exhibit degree Sa 3
and at the very least the appearance of degree Sa 2 at the time of painting.
The coats of paint may only be applied on carefully cleaned surfaces that must be dry and free of grease
and dust.
9.2

Special conditions
Painting may be carried out when the Contractor can be sure that the instructions of the paint supplier
have been scrupulously followed with regard to the parameters in the following (non-exhaustive) list:
x

Ambient temperature.

Surface temperature.

Relative humidity.

Dew point.

Drying times.

The Contractor must in this respect be able to produce the instructions for the paint on the site. The
OWNER/CONSULTANT will guarantee 100% supervision in this regard during the execution of the
work.
In addition, the paintwork may only be carried out to a minimum ambient temperature of 5C and/or to a
maximum relative degree of humidity of 85 %. Application of the paint is also not permitted if there is a
danger that the coat of paint will not be dry before dew or condensation sets in.

Precautions to be taken
Neither the environment of the site nor the marking labels of devices may be covered with paint and they
must be kept free of paint splashes. To this end, it is advisable to use removable masking tape.
Paint splashes, leaks, etc. on any adjacent installations such as measuring apparatus, valves, pipes.
sources of light, insulation, heat insulators, walls, concrete, etc, must immediately be wiped up and the
damage repaired before the paint is dry.
Otherwise, the OWNER will be obliged to have the cleaning carried out at the expense of the Contractor.
The paint recipient will only be opened at the time of use (unless otherwise specified by the
manufacturer).
The product will be mixed in the recipient with the aid of suitable tools and thus homogenized.

1.9.5

Method of application
Normally, three methods of application will be used on the construction site for the paint products. i.e.
with a brush, with a roller or with a spray gun.

The brush method makes it possible to obtain good penetration of the paint over irregularities in the
metal.

Only this method will be used for application of the base coats, for retouching and for protrusions,
welded areas, riveted joints or bolted joints:

The roller method may be used on large flat surfaces for the intermediate and topcoats.

The spray gun method must be used in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer and carried
out by qualified personnel.
The Contractor must guarantee that all safety measures have been taken for such work. The spray gun
method may only he used on site for places that arc difficult to reach with the brush. In this case, a
request must be made to the OWNER/ OWNER's Representative for a deviation.
All paintwork will be carried out with good brushes or rollers that are suitable for the type of paint being
used and for the form of the material to be painted and fitted with short handles. The maximum length of
the brush and roller handles will be 50 cm; longer handles may only be used for places that are
absolutely inaccessible. The maximum width of a brush will be 13 cm.

1.9.6

Application of the coating


Application of the paint will be carried out in accordance with best practice in order to obtain a
homogeneous and continuous layer. The OWNER or the Approved Supervisory body demands that
painting of a layer will only be started after acceptance by them of the surface preparation or of the
previous layer of paint.
The layers of paint must have a uniform thickness. They must he spread in such a way that all concave
parts are dried out and that the surface is completely covered and has a glossy appearance without
leaving brush marks and without exhibiting bubbles, foam, wrinkles, drips, craters, skins or gums that
arise from weathered paint,
Each layer must have the color stipulated in the tables of the present specifications, which clearly differs
from the previous layer, taking account of the Color of the top layer, all of which for the purpose of being
able to identify the number of coats and their order of sequence. If the color of the coats is not
mentioned in the tables the color difference in consecutive coats must, if possible, he at least 100 RAL.
The color of the top layer is given in the table.
The coating power should be such that the underlying layer is not visible. Only 1 layer per day may be
applied, unless otherwise specified by the OWNER or the Approved Supervisory Body.
The drying times prescribed by the paint manufacturer must be strictly observed in relation to the
environmental conditions before proceeding with the application of the next layer.
The dry coating thickness indicated in the description of the paint systems are minimum thickness. In
this connection, the Contractor is obliged to contact the paint manufacturer and conform to his
guidelines. The Contractor must respect the thickness specified by the supplier.

1.9.7

Transporting treated items


In the case of works being carried out in a workshop, the metal structures will be surrounded by
ventilated contraction film that prevents damage during transportation. This film may only be applied
after complete polymerization of the paint.

The Contractor will provide system 02 over the entire length of the pipes above ground and below
ground and up to a height of 20 cm and a depth of 40 cm. perpendicular to the ground level mark. In
each case, he must ensure that the jointing below the asphalt is in good condition and assures' faultless
adhesion. He will apply the following products over the entire surface area, prepared in accordance with
is Sa 3:
1)

The primer of system 01.

2)

Reinforced polyester 20 cm above the ground level marker and 5 cm on the asphalt cleaned
beforehand (application of reinforced polyester is carried out in accordance with the work
method prescribed by the manufacturer). Moreover, in the case of PE, in contrast to asphalt, he
will apply a polygon primer to PE immediately before applying the reinforced polyester.

3)

He will then apply the other coats of system 01a to the surface section and thus cover the
reinforced polyester with about 5 cm.

4)

For new constructions, the polygon primer will be applied to PE and then subsequently
processed as described under point 2.

The Contractor will specify the cost of scaffolding in the price list.

The supplementary rental price for delays attributable to the Contractor will be charged to him:

In his price quotation the Contractor should present the OWNER with diagrams of the scaffolding
that he intends to install for carrying out the works of the OWNER.

QUALITY CONTROLS AND GUARANTEE

1.12.1 The Contractor is responsible for checking the weather conditions to ascertain whether the paintwork
can be carried out within the technical specifications.
The Contractor should have the required calibrated monitoring apparatus for this purpose on site (with
calibration certificates). The personnel who will have to use this apparatus should have the training for
this purpose.
The OWNER or his representative and possibly the approved supervisory body indicated by the
OWNER will maintain supervision during the works and inspect the works with random checks. A daily
report will be drawn up in relation to the department that maintains supervision of these works.
The supplementary inspection and the supervision by the OWNER or the approved supervisory body do
not diminish in any way the liability of the Contractor. The proper execution of the work and the materials
used may be checked at any time.
1.12.2 Reference Surfaces
At the start of the works. the OWNER or the approved supervisory body will indicate a few surfaces that
the Contractor will prepare and cover in accordance with the recognized method of operation under the
inspection and to the satisfaction of all parties ; the OWNER or his representative, the approved
supervisory body. the contractor and possibly the paint manufacturer. These reference surfaces will
serve as a point of comparison for the good adhesion of the paint on the installations as a whole. The
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
