3) What about the section next to discharge canal, where the GRP CW pipe is alone? What about the 3 elbows, to compensate for the
reaction forces when the pump starts?

1.5 Contractors response dated 27-08-2019

Please refer to drawing quenching water pipe line civil works plan and sectional drawing as below. Also, Please refer to drawing No. NS2-
XB02-P0PAB-164510.

- DVN has changed the hydro test holding time from the pressure and leak test of piping method statement NS2-DD09-P0ZEN-740014
and mentioned that the test pressure holding time 10 minutes instead of 2 hours. DVN is required to mention in which standard
describe the test pressure holding time 10 minutes for GRP piping. And also, please revise the pressure and leak test of piping
method statement NS2-DD09-P0ZEN-740014 accordingly.
- During pressure test all the field joints shall be left fully exposed for inspection. Half exposed for inspection is not acceptable.
Please revise in the MS.

1.8 Contractors response dated 09-03-2020

- Please refer to ASME NM.2-2018 at item 6-3.2.2 of page 86. DVN will be revised the pressure and leak test of piping method
statement no NS2-DD09-P0ZEN-740014.
- Revised as per comment. Please refer to MS at page 18.
Owner /OE’s Comment dated 23-03-2020
The Owner/OE does not agree the GRP piping test pressure holding time 10 minutes and concluded that 10 minutes holding time is
inadequate for leakage inspection. We would suggest a longer holding time of 30 minutes during pressure test.
Based on Hydro Test pressure holding time of 30 minutes and 2 hours which was done for the first test package DVN should give the
Guarantee for the GRP piping quality up to 35 years of the plant operation life period.
Contractors response dated 27-03-2020
As discussed on weekly meeting. It is 2 hours holding time for GRP test in ISO 14692-4.4 Petroleum and natural gas industries which is
applied in natural gas not water in power plant. It is specified 1.5 times of design pressure with at least 10 minutes holding time for GRP
hydraulic test according to ASME B31.1 Power Piping, which is generally applied in power plant system. However, DVN would propose
“30 minutes holding time under 1.5 times of design pressure” to ensure GRP safe operation.

DVN’s proposal of Golden Joints instead of hydro test for test package-3 is not acceptable. The purpose of hydro test is not only for pipe
joints and also ensure the pipe materials quality without any defects and leakages. DVN is required to do the hydro test for pipeline test
package-3
Contractors response dated 01-08-2020
Noted. As discussed on date 22-July-2020. DVN shall testing pressure 2.5 bar for all sections in one time.
