A. GENERAL
3. However, the following parts of the study are not submitted:
a) Feeder Canal
This canal is proposed to deliver the irrigation water for pump stations 6,
7 & 8 to supply for command 6, 7 & 8 respectively receiving water from
rising pipe (feeder pipe). Initially, Al-Habesh firm partly constructed the
proposed canal to irrigate 2,300 ha (but now the canal is under poor
condition. In the course of this design work it has been agreed with the
design crew to establish a new arrangement to synchronize the existing
feeder canal with the main canal in which the main canal is planned as
permanent canal that abstract irrigation water from the reservoir dam.
However, this part of design is not submitted. Thus, the detail
design of the canal system with all its required structures on the
given reach including the BOQ should be submitted.
Thus, the design of such alternative road with all expected outputs
(which are mentioned in section b) should be delivered incorporating in
the Irrigation and Drainage Review Report.
Hence, review the BOQ by describing the vertical line shaft pump in
separate part and specifying the required characteristics/parameters i.e.
material type, diameter (DN), working pressure (PN), etc. and finally
differentiate the available and non available ones accordingly.
e) Preparation of BOQ
The pump stations arrangement with the farm water demand have
been reviewed in command 1-5 area and accordingly it has been
recommended additional riser pipes to be installed which is shown in
the new modified layout of the command areas. Thus, we suggest the
BOQ of the additional risers should be accounted in the detail design
review of electro-mechanical part.
g) Structural Design
The existing 1500 ha irrigation system revealed that HDPE type pipe has
been adopted in the infield lateral pipe system. However, your new
alternative system instead selected uPVC type without briefing. Hence,
justify the selected uPVC for infield lateral pipes comparing with HDPE
pipe in terms of cost, adaptability, installation easiness and considering
other major factors.
b. In Table 2, please name the new commands i.e. LPS-4a, LPS-3b &
LPS-3a in bracket with respect to commands 6, 7 and 8.
a. Please show the detail analysis for the design review of the pump
stations on Command 1~5 and the farm water demand which
resulted in the additional pipes to be installed.
c. Show the analysis how you determined the required water level or
total dynamic head presented in Table 5.
d. Show the analysis how you determine the bed wet well level?
4) All comments stated above which apply from PS1 to PS5 will also
valid in PS6 to PS8 design parts, in cases when similar condition
exists.
5. It was expected that, the review report would have included the
length of pipes installed, the quantity of main canal excavated, the
remaining pipe installation works, the exact quantity of materials
available on site and the material requirement. Therefore, such
data has to be furnished in the report.
6. Item BOQ 2.3.2 and 2.3.3, the trench excavation, bedding and
backfill for DN 63mm to DN 560mm is presented. However, the
trench excavation, bedding and backfill should be presented for
each diameter indicating the width, depth and length of pipes.
7. Item 2.5, thrust blocks are required for end cups in case of buried
the submains.
8. Item 2.6, pressure testing for main line can be merged for all
diameters.
13. Item 3.2.2, lateral pipes 75, 63 and 50mm dia. were
recommended as uPVC. Please compare the comparative
advantages and disadvantages of using HDPE and uPVC pipes in
terms of cost, durability, transport cost and installation easiness
and recommend the best one.
17. The number of end plugs, Item 3.3.7.2, is not enough. The
number of end plugs of the lateral ends should be the same as the
number of clamp saddles, Item 3.3.1 and 3.3.2. It can be merged
with the quantities of end plugs (Item 3.4.7.1, 3.4.7.6 and 3.4.7.7).
