4.2. Content of the submission :
Ras Laffan Industrial City is divided into several Lots & Corridors, based on the
Industrial Land Use Plan, earmarked for specific purposes. RLC controls the use of
the land within RLIC boundaries in order to ensure efficiencies and to promote
sustainable developments. RLC’s Review & Approval process mainly focuses on
details which are pertinent to ensure that the proposals are inline with RLC’s Master
Plan. This is to achieve possible synergies with, to evade conflicts between and to
avoid interferences with existing/future assets of other End-Users. Thus, RLC’s
Review/Approval does not absolve the End-User from checking and ensuring the
technical content of the document with regard to its conformity with applicable
Codes/Standards & process requirements. Hence all End-Users must refrain from

done with reference to the latest revision of the RLC Common Corridor Drawing #
SK-RLC-00170, and inline with the RLIC development plans. After finalisation,
submit the conceptual routing for RLC’s review and approval.
2. After the routing is agreed in-principle the End-User will arrive at the requirements
of the sub-corridor based on the process parameters. Once the width requirement
is optimized, the exact location of the sub-corridor within the Common Corridor will
be advised by RLC.
3. Once the sub-corridor is allocated, the End-User will develop an overall routing
layout clearly indicating the sub-corridor width and location within the common
corridor, with all crossings identified and numbered. In this regard a drawing in Plan
View is required, clearly identifying all crossings with coordinates in CGIS QNG95
and accompanied with an applicable Crossing Matrix. The Crossing Matrix shall be
in accordance with the example attached in Attachment N. RLC can assist in
identifying the respective asset owners, if required.
In this context ‘crossings’ mean a location where the allocated sub-corridor

intersects in plan (underground or overhead) with another corridor (Occupied ,
Partially occupied or Unoccupied), as defined in the RLC Common Corridor Drawing
# SK-RLC-00170. This overall layout shall be submitted to RLC for review and
Approval.

4. Structural Design :
Since the pipes are routed through a pipe rack/bridge previously built by RLC, it
is mandatory for the End User to carry out necessary structural analysis & design
verifications, based on the piping stress analysis out put & other loads as per
applicable design codes and standards.
a. Load Verification table
The Load Verification Table shall be updated and submitted to RLC for
review. This is to ensure that the existing pipe-rack is structurally adequate
to resist the loads from the proposed assets. The permission for hydro
testing will be given only after the satisfactory submission of the Load
Verification Table.
b. Surge Analysis:
End Users must carry out necessary surge analysis to ensure that the
forces transferred to the existing pipe-racks/ bridges are within the values
considered in the original design. In case, if it exceeds the same, separate
arrangement has to be proposed in consultation with RLC so that
excessive forces/stresses are not transferred to the existing members.
5. Separate approval shall be obtained for hydro-testing/ pneumatic testing required

for the installed pipelines.
