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.

- Accepted & Incorporated

b) Main Access Road for 2,300 ha

The Irrigation and Drainage System component comprises of Irrigation


Pipe System, Drainage System and Road Network System with all their
auxiliary structures. The design, relevant drawings (i.e. sections, profiles
and details), the BOQ (for main road) and other related roads should be
included in the Pressurized Irrigation and Drainage System Review
Report.

c) Alternative Access Road for Flood Affected Area

The existing road from command-2 to command-5 is aligned adjacent to


the left bank of Dedessa River. During the wet season the river overtops
the bank and closed the way to reach the left bank of command are
starting from command-5 in which they occupy large part of the irrigable

OROMIA WATER WORKS DESIGN AND SUPERVISION ENTERPRISE Page 1


2,300 HA REPLY TO COMMENT ON DESIGN REVIEW SEPTEMBER, 2014

area. To alleviate the problems an alternative network following from the


periphery of the upland command-2 to command-5 has been proposed
and discussed with your engineers.

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.

d) Overall Review and Design of All Pump Stations (PS1 to PS8)


based on Available Pumps

We appreciate the way in which the available pumps are optimized in


this design stage and also the BOQ setup that clearly differentiated the
available material with the non available ones.

Meanwhile, we recommend here that the vertical line shaft pump


itemized as single unit should be revised since the previous inventory
work on available pumps revealed that only 12 column pipes are found
in the store.

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.

- Justification: As it is stated that there are only 12 column


pipes available in the store, but they have been confirmed in the
previous inventory work. During the period of design review, it
is found that all of the parts and accessories of 43 vertical line
shaft pumps are available in the store including the other
missing column pipes. To describe about one hundred parts
and accessories of a pump in separate part is impossible and
not right. Because these drawings are pump installation ones in
the pump house, not pump assembly ones.

e) Preparation of BOQ

ⅰ. BOQ for 1500 ha

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.

- Accepted & Incorporated in “4. BOQ of Additional Pipe” of


Page 35 of the Design Review Final Report (Electro-
Mechanical Part).

ⅱ. BOQ for 2300 ha

Initially, a design of Pressurized Irrigation System on the proposed


2300 ha command area was conducted as part of design of 30,000 ha
irrigable area. The review work revealed major gap identified in the
planning of the irrigation system in which the design was conducted
without considering the available MS pipe system. Accordingly, it is
understood then the main purpose of this design work is to
synchronize the pipe system with the available (installed) pipe
material and existing condition and avail material have been assessed
and offered to the design crew.

Meanwhile, we recommend here that fittings, valves and accessories


mentioned in the BOQ should be itemized with exist and non-exist
similar to pump system BOQ.

g) Structural Design

Like hydraulic and electro-mechanical design, the structural design part


is one of the components in the design of irrigation scheme. Thus, the
structural design part incorporating concept, approach, analysis and
results of design for various components of the project should be
presented and submitted to the client.

- Accepted & Incorporated in “10. Structural Design of Pump


House” on Page 39 of the Design Review Final Report
(Irrigation & Structural Part).

h) Preparing Operation and Maintenance Manual

This component is not submitted yet but mentioned in the contract


agreement, so offer accordingly.

- Accepted & Incorporated in separate document.

i) Infield Pipe Material Selection

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.

- Justification: As it is known, uPVC type and HDPE type pipes


have many common advantages as against the other traditional
products in durability, corrosion resistance, lower weight,
installation easiness, cost, transportation and long service life
(over 50 years), etc. However, HDPE pipe is more flexible than
uPVC pipe, but this irrigation system designed by us is one of
burying the laterals under the ground, not movable one on the

OROMIA WATER WORKS DESIGN AND SUPERVISION ENTERPRISE Page 4


2,300 HA REPLY TO COMMENT ON DESIGN REVIEW SEPTEMBER, 2014

ground, so that there is no worry about the flexibility. On the


other hand, uPVC pipe costs 30~40% lower than HDPE pipe.
The lists of their sale prices in the FDR of Ethiopia are included
in Appendix to this document. Owing to the above reason,
HDPE type pipe has the advantage in the existing movable
irrigation system of laterals of Al-Habesh region. The existing
irrigation system in the Project Site is one of laying the laterals
on the ground and moving them, but the irrigation system
designed by us is one of burying the laterals under the ground.
Hence the uPVC pipe has been singled out to use, not HDPE
pipe which is relatively expensive in price. It is recommended
that the cost of supply has to be considered in many aspects
and it would be appreciated if you note that the effects of the
other transport and installation have their advantages and
disadvantages respectively.

B. COMMENT ON DESIGN REVIEW FINAL REPORT


B.1 ELECTRO-MECHANICAL WORKS FROM PS1 to PS8

1) In Chapter 2.1 Water Demand of the Area

a. In the report it is stated that the total water requirement is


estimated as 1ℓ/s/ha and in addition unaccounted water of 10% is
considered. However, in Table 1 of the estimated discharge 10%
additional water is not accounted. Please consider the additional
water.

- Justification: The estimated discharge 10% additional water is a


value considered for only calculation of electro-mechanical
capacity, not water quantity to be supplied actually.

OROMIA WATER WORKS DESIGN AND SUPERVISION ENTERPRISE Page 5


2,300 HA REPLY TO COMMENT ON DESIGN REVIEW SEPTEMBER, 2014

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.

- - Justification: In Table 2 on Page 7 of the Design Review Final


Report (Electro-Mechanical Part), the names of commands and
pump stations have already been written. Please check again.

2) In Chapter 2.3 The Water Resource

a. In Table 3, 80% Dependable mean river flow: where is the exact


location of Dedessa? It seems at Arjo-Bedele Bridge and hence at
least put a note under the table.

- Accepted & Incorporated in Table 3 on Page 9 of the Design


Review Final Report (Electro-Mechanical Part).

3) In Chapter 2.4 Design of Pump Station

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.

- Accepted & Incorporated below: In Command 1~5, a


simultaneous irrigation for the whole areas has not been made
so far, so that the issue of pipe capacity is not raised. However,
the irrigation at the same time for the whole areas is impossible
in consideration of the current pipe system and pump capacity.
Based on a layout of the current pipe arrangement given by the
Client, the computed result of head loss in the main pipe is as
follows when the current pipe system and additional pipes are
installed on Command 2~4.

№ Command Area Current system When additional

OROMIA WATER WORKS DESIGN AND SUPERVISION ENTERPRISE Page 6


2,300 HA REPLY TO COMMENT ON DESIGN REVIEW SEPTEMBER, 2014

pipes are installed

1 Command -2 109.7m 8.85m

2 Command -3 38.3m 11.48m

3 Command -4 41.3m 8.66m

Accordingly, in order to provide the irrigation at the same time


for the whole areas with the current pumps in store, the
capacity of the main pipes has to be increased and the head
loss in the pipes should be decreased by a large margin.

b. In Table 5, please clarify the source of the minimum water level


data and justify what makes the difference of 2.5m between PS5
and PS1 levels. As it is known, the river flows relatively in gentle
slope in the project area.

- Justification: According to source from the Client, the


minimum water depth is 0.5m and the maximum and minimum
water level variation is 4.8m. As it is known in the surveying
data, the slope of Dedessa River is gentle as 0.000435, but
because the distance between PS5 and PS1 is 6,5km, its
relative difference is more than 2.8m.

c. Show the analysis how you determined the required water level or
total dynamic head presented in Table 5.

- Please refer to “A 4. System Head” on Page 11 of the Design


Review Final Report (Electro-Mechanical Part).

d. Show the analysis how you determine the bed wet well level?

OROMIA WATER WORKS DESIGN AND SUPERVISION ENTERPRISE Page 7


2,300 HA REPLY TO COMMENT ON DESIGN REVIEW SEPTEMBER, 2014

- Justification: The bed wet well level depends on the minimum


water level, pump NPSH and pump length. Please refer to the
Figure 3(Page 13) of the Design Review Final Report (Electro-
Mechanical Part). That is the recommended value of pump
manufacturers.

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.

the Design Review Final Report (Irrigation & Structural Part).

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.

- Please refer to reply of “3. i) of A. General” of this document,


because they are the same comments.

14. Materials expressed in pcs need to be in whole number. E.g.


no brass sprinkler of 7037.1 pcs, rather it should be 7038. Include
also spare items for fast wearing materials.

- Accepted & Incorporated in Item 3.1 of “11.1 BOQ of Civil


Works” on Page 49 of the Design Review Final Report
(Irrigation & Structural Part).

15. Item 3.1.1.1, brass sprinkler female is recommended and


Item 3.1.2.1, tripod of female end is recommended. In our opinion,
either the brass sprinkler or the tripod end should be male for
compatibility reasons. Please check compatibility of the materials.

- Accepted & Incorporated in Item 2.1.2.1 of “11.2 BOQ for


Supply of Pipes & Fittings” on Page 59 of the Design Review
Final Report (Irrigation & Structural Part).

16. The water intake valve is not mentioned in the BOQ.

OROMIA WATER WORKS DESIGN AND SUPERVISION ENTERPRISE Page 11


2,300 HA REPLY TO COMMENT ON DESIGN REVIEW SEPTEMBER, 2014

- Accepted & Incorporated in Item 2.1.2.3.3 of “11.2 BOQ for


Supply of Pipes & Fittings” on Page 59 of the Design Review
Final Report (Irrigation & Structural Part).

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).

- Justification: In Item 3.3.7.2, the end plugs are for the


manifold pipe, not for laterals. The end plugs of laterals are
indicated in Item 3.4.7 of “11.1 BOQ of Civil Works” on Page 51
and Item 2.4.7 of “11.2 BOQ for Supply of Pipes and Fittings”
on Page 60 of the Design Review Final Report (Irrigation &
Structural Part).

18. Item 3.5, pressure regulator valve: There has to be good


compatibility of the pressure regulator valve set in connecting to
the submain pipes and the infield lateral pipes. In this connection,
there has to be a sound interface between the submain pipes,
pressure regulating valves and the lateral pipes. Adaptor from MS
pipes to the lateral pipes is not indicated in the BOQ.

- Justification: Because the mains, submains and inlet pipes of


valve system are MS pipes and they are connected by welding,
the adaptor has not planned to install. The adaptor of the exit of
the valve system is indicated in Items 3.3.3, 3.3.4 and 3.3.5 of
“11.1 BOQ of Civil Works” on Page 50 and Items 2.3.3, 2.3.4
and 2.3.5 of “11.2 BOQ for Supply of Pipes and Fittings” on
Page 59 of the Design Review Final Report (Irrigation &
Structural Part).

19. Item 3.6, excavation, bedding and backfill of pipes have to be


clearly indicated in the BOQ for each type of pipe dia.

- Accepted & Incorporated in Item 3.6 of “11.1 BOQ of Civil


Works” on Page 52 of the Design Review Final Report
(Irrigation & Structural Part), but the infield pipes are
50~150mm in diameter, so that excavation volume has been
estimated based on bed width of 0.5m.

iv. How water divert to the pump house? What are the
arrangements to guide the river water to the wet well?

- Justification: As per the hydrological data given from the


Client, the minimum water depth is 0.5m. Thus if the above-
mentioned water depth is provided in the end position of the
inlet pipe, the required water quantity will be enough to
supply from the pump house. The water flow velocity of the
inlet pipe is about 0.8m/s. Therefore, there is no necessary
to install the additional diversion structure.

c. Section A-A

i. What is the protection works for sediment or silt trap?

C.4 PRESSURIZED IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE FOR 2300 HA

1) All drains should be in cut.

- Justification: Because the indicated filling has been considered with


only the free board to the maximum for the longitudinal slope regulation
of canal in depression, there will be no trouble in the drains.

2) In case of drainage canals like FD-LP3a-13(0-478), instead of


providing number of consecutive vertical drops, chute structures would
be efficient and economical so please review the alternative structure.

- Justification: Because the distance between the vertical drops is


planned as 20m in the minimum in the design, the chute structures are
never economical.
